Overview:

Interaction SIP Proxy is Microsoft Windows-based software that provides basic SIP proxy and registrar functionality as defined in the IETF SIP-oriented RFC 3261. The Interaction SIP Proxy routes incoming SIP messages based on configurable dial plan and server plans, with simplified administration via Web interface.

Problem:

Hat-Squad security team has discovered a remote heap overflow in Interaction SIP Proxy. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to overwrite heap memory and cause a a severe denial-of-service condition on system. Exploitation of this vulnerability for code execution requires a magic sequence of pre-allocations, data and size.

Technical Details:

The code in i3sipmsg.dll is responsible for handling SIP requests. The vulnerability is triggered by sending 2900 bytes of space (0x20) or TAB (0x9) characters as SIP version in a REGISTER request line. This will cause a heap overflow in SIPParser function.

A Proof of concept for this vulnerability is available at http://www.hat-squad.com/i3sip.html
