In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: fix Content-Length u32 truncation in sip_help_tcp()
sip_help_tcp() parses the SIP Content-Length header with
simple_strtoul(), which returns unsigned long, but stores the result in
unsigned int clen. On 64-bit systems, values exceeding UINT_MAX are
silently truncated before computing the SIP message boundary.
For example, Content-Length 4294967328 (2^32 + 32) is truncated to 32,
causing the parser to miscalculate where the current message ends. The
loop then treats trailing data in the TCP segment as a second SIP
message and processes it through the SDP parser.
Fix this by changing clen to unsigned long to match the return type of
simple_strtoul(), and reject Content-Length values that exceed the
remaining TCP payload length.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter subsystem, specifically within the nf_conntrack_sip module. This vulnerability arises from an integer truncation error when processing the Content-Length header in Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) messages. On 64-bit systems, large Content-Length values are silently truncated, causing the system to misinterpret the boundary of SIP messages. This can lead to the incorrect parsing of network traffic, potentially allowing an attacker to bypass security policies or trigger unintended processing of data.
Отчет
Truncating Content-Length to 32 bits mis-positions SIP message boundaries so trailing bytes may be parsed as a second message through SDP handling. Requires SIP traffic through the conntrack helper; the effect is parser confusion and possible policy bypass, not a classic buffer overflow.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the nf_conntrack_sip module from being loaded. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions.
