CWE-94  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade asterisk to version 1.0.12, 1.2.13 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. Integer overflow in the get_input function in the Skinny channel driver (chan_skinny.c) in Asterisk 1.0.x before 1.0.12 and 1.2.x before 1.2.13, as used by Cisco SCCP phones, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain dlen value that passes a signed integer comparison and leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.
