Descriptions

main/translate.c in Sangoma Asterisk 13.28.0 and 16.5.0 allows a remote attacker to send a specific RTP packet during a call and cause a crash in a specific scenario.

El archivo main/translate.c en Sangoma Asterisk versiones 13.28.0 y 16.5.0, permite a un atacante remoto enviar un paquete RTP específico durante una llamada y causar un bloqueo en un escenario específico.

When audio frames are given to the audio transcoding support in Asterisk the number of samples are examined and as part of this a message is output to indicate that no samples are present. A change was done to suppress this message for a particular scenario in which the message was not relevant. This change assumed that information about the origin of a frame will always exist when in reality it may not. This issue presented itself when an RTP packet containing no audio (and thus no samples) was received. In a particular transcoding scenario this audio frame would get turned into a frame with no origin information. If this new frame was then given to the audio transcoding support a crash would occur as no samples and no origin information would be present.
