WebRTC and Security

Hi all,

for anyone interested in future voip security related stuff, i would
suggest to join the IETF Rtcweb mailing lists, as in recent months there
are very challenging discussion on Security of WebRTC standard
(Encrypted VoIP embedded in all future browsers).

      Advisory Contact    Matt Jordan < mjordan AT digium DOT com >           
          CVE Name        

    Description  In the Skinny channel driver, KEYPAD_BUTTON_MESSAGE events   
                 are queued for processing in a buffer allocated on the       
                 heap, where each DTMF value that is received is placed on    
                 the end of the buffer. Since the length of the buffer is     
                 never checked, an attacker could send sufficient             
                 KEYPAD_BUTTON_MESSAGE events such that the buffer is         
                 overrun.                                                     

    Resolution  The length of the buffer is now checked before appending a    
                value to the end of the buffer.

      Advisory Contact    Matt Jordan < mjordan AT digium DOT com >           
          CVE Name        

    Description  A remotely exploitable crash vulnerability exists in the     
                 SIP channel driver if a SIP UPDATE request is processed      
                 within a particular window of time. For this to occur, the   
                 following must take place:                                   

                 1. The setting 'trustrpid' must be set to True               

                 2. An UPDATE request must be received after a call has been  
                 terminated and the associated channel object has been        
                 destroyed, but before the SIP dialog associated with the     
                 call has been destroyed. Receiving the UPDATE request        
                 before the call is terminated or after the SIP dialog        
                 associated with the call will not cause the crash            
                 vulnerability described here.

          CVE Name        

    Description  A user of the Asterisk Manager Interface can bypass a        
                 security check and execute shell commands when they lack     
                 permission to do so. Under normal conditions, a user should  
                 only be able to run shell commands if that user has System   
                 class authorization. Users could bypass this restriction by  
                 using the MixMonitor application with the originate action   
                 or by using either the GetVar or Status manager actions in   
                 combination with the SHELL and EVAL functions. The patch     
                 adds checks in each affected action to verify if a user has  
                 System class authorization. If the user does not have those  
                 authorizations, Asterisk rejects the action if it detects    
                 the use of any functions or applications that run system     
                 commands.

How to Configure the New Call Blocking Asterisk Collector

How to Configure the New Call Blocking Asterisk Collector

http://www.humbuglabs.org/blog/2012/03/20/how-to-configure-the-new-call-blocking-asterisk-collector/

Humbug Telecom Labs has released the Silver Hawk version of our collector
for Asterisk based systems

This new collector enables companies running Asterisk version 1.4 (or
later) to benefit from Humbug’s fraud blocking service. The blocking is
currently available for the following alerts:

For Asterisk version 1.4 and up:

   - Business Hours
   - Time Range

For Asterisk versions 1.6 and up:

   - Blacklist
   - Community Blacklist
   - Blacklist Country

We will be expanding to cover all our alerts in the near future. For more
details about the features in the latest release please see our blog about
it <http://www.humbuglabs.org/blog/2012/02/26/introducing-the-silver-hawk/>.

Essentially, when a call is made from the PBX, the humbug plug-in
authenticates the call against the configured rules of these alerts, and if
a deviation is found then it drops the call by sending a command to the
Asterisk Manager Interface. In some cases the authentication is done

    Description  An attacker can cause Asterisk to crash in one of two ways:  

                 1. A dialplan uses the Milliwatt application with 'o'        
                 option                                                       

                 2. The internal_timing opion in asterisk.conf is off         

                 3. The attacker sends a large audio packet. The number of    
                 samples in the audio packet determines the number of         
                 internal data samples that are copied into the buffer. This  
                 overruns the buffer, potentially causing a crash.            

                 OR

Exploit for Asterisk Security Advisory AST-2011-013

A Metasploit module is attached that demonstrates how to enumerate
Asterisk sip peers that have a nat setting different to the global sip
nat setting as described in Asterisk Security Advisory AST-2011-013.

The example below finds all peers with nat=yes, but the metasploit module
will also work when global nat=yes and peers have nat=no.
