Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Asterisk. An unauthenticated remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by sending specially crafted setup packets to the chan_ooh323 channel driver. Due to insufficient bounds checking in the Q.931 protocol parser, processing these malformed packets triggers an out-of-bounds read that crashes the service. This flaw only affects environments where the optional chan_ooh323 module is compiled, installed, and reachable over the network.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-26 20:02:48 UTC
Asterisk is an open source private branch exchange and telephony toolkit. Prior to Asterisk 20.20.1, 21.12.3, 22.10.1, 23.4.1 and Certified Asterisk 20.7-cert11, 22.8-cert3, insufficient bounds checking in the `chan_ooh323` `Q.931` `information-element parser` permits an `out-of-bounds read` that may allow an unauthenticated attacker to crash Asterisk using carefully crafted `setup packets`. The `chan_ooh323` addon channel driver must be explicitly compiled and installed, which is not the default, and its port must be publicly reachable. This issue is fixed in Asterisk 20.20.1, 21.12.3, 22.10.1, 23.4.1 and Certified Asterisk 20.7-cert11, 22.8-cert3.
