Description

The Asterisk project reports:

If Asterisk is challenged on an outbound INVITE and

the nonce is changed in each response, Asterisk will

continually send INVITEs in a loop. This causes Asterisk

to consume more and more memory since the transaction

will never terminate (even if the call is hung up),

ultimately leading to a restart or shutdown of Asterisk.

Outbound authentication must be configured on the endpoint

for this to occur.

  • freebsd-upgrade-package-asterisk16
  • freebsd-upgrade-package-asterisk18

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
