Asterisk Dial() weak security

asterisk-dial-weak-security (56397) The risk level is classified as MediumMedium Risk

Description:

Asterisk could provide weaker than expected security, caused by an error when the ${EXTEN} channel variable in a dialplan is used with wildcard patterns. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially-crafted SIP INVITE message to create an additional outgoing channel leg that was not originally intentioned by the dialplan programmer.

*CVSS:

Base Score: 5
  Access Vector: Network
  Access Complexity: Low
  Authentication: None
  Confidentiality Impact: None
  Integrity Impact: Partial
  Availability Impact: None
 
Temporal Score: 3.7
  Exploitability: Unproven
  Remediation Level: Official-Fix
  Report Confidence: Confirmed

Consequences:

Bypass Security

Remedy:

Refer to AST-2010-002 for patch, upgrade or suggested workaround information. See References.

  • CVE-2010-0685: The design of the dialplan functionality in Asterisk Open Source 1.2.x, 1.4.x, and 1.6.x; and Asterisk Business Edition B.x.x and C.x.x, when using the ${EXTEN} channel variable and wildcard pattern matches, allows context-dependent attackers to inject strings into the dialplan using metacharacters that are injected when the variable is expanded, as demonstrated using the Dial application to process a crafted SIP INVITE message that adds an unintended outgoing channel leg. NOTE: it could be argued that this is not a vulnerability in Asterisk, but a class of vulnerabilities that can occur in any program that uses this feature without the associated filtering functionality that is already available.
