Succession Communication Server 2000 SIP Vulnerabilities Advisory Available in Danish 

Secunia Advisory: SA8121  
Release Date: 2003-02-24

Critical:
Highly critical
Impact: DoS
System access
Where: From remote
Solution Status: Unpatched

OS:Succession Communication Server 2000


This advisory is currently marked as unpatched!
- Companies can be alerted when a patch is released!


Description:
Nortel Networks has confirmed vulnerabilities in the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) implementation in their Succession Communication Server 2000 and the Compact version.

The vulnerabilities have been identified in the INVITE message used by two SIP-endpoints during the initial call setup. The impact of successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities has not been disclosed but could potentially result in a compromise of a vulnerable device.

Products are only vulnerable when SIP-T (Session Initiation Protocol for Telephones) has been provisioned on the Communication Server.

Solution:
Nortel Networks are currently working on producing a patch.

As a temporary workaround SIP-T can be disabled. If this is not a viable solution because conversion from PSTN to SIP is required, outbound traffic as well as inbound traffic to broadcast addresses and the following ports should be filtered on the devices, firewalls and border routers:

5060/udp # Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
5060/tcp # Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
5061/tcp # Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) over TLS

Provided and/or discovered by:
Oulu University Secure Programming Group
