Subject: [PATCH] AST-2013-002: Prevent denial of service in HTTP server
AST-2012-014, fixed in January of this year, contained a fix for Asterisk's
HTTP server for a remotely-triggered crash. While the fix put in place fixed
the possibility for the crash to be triggered, a denial of service vector still
exists with that solution if an attacker sends one or more HTTP POST requests
with very large Content-Length values. This patch resolves this by capping
the Content-Length at 1024 bytes. Any attempt to send an HTTP POST with
Content-Length greater than this cap will not result in any memory allocation.
The POST will be responded to with an HTTP 413 "Request Entity Too Large"
response.
This issue was reported by Christoph Hebeisen of TELUS Security Labs
(closes issue ASTERISK-20967)
