> *NOTE*: This is being treated as a security vulnerability for the following reasons:
> # It affects FreePBX fairly readily, which represents a very large percentage of Asterisk deployments
> # It's very easy to construct a dialplan that gets hit by this
> # It's good to fix crashes.
> From Philippe:
> The following scenario will crash Asterisk, confirmed on versions 11 and 12:
> Don't set the following {{sip.conf}} variables set:
> * {{accept_outofcall_messages}} (or set to no the default)
> * {{outofcall_message_context}} (not set in general or for a specific context)
> If you then receive an out of call SIP Message (SMS Message in this case) and the message is directed to {{ReceiveFAX()}} where, in my case we had spandsp installed, Asterisk will crash.

> In FreePBX it can be easily reproduced by sending an inbound DID directly to a 'FAX Recipient' destination which is setup in the Extension Page first.
> From an earlier test of this (I think verbosity was set higher or I had better logging), the following ERROR messages are included:
> {code}
> [2014-08-19 08:43:37] VERBOSE[24146][C-00000001] res_fax.c:     -- Channel 'Message/ast_msg_queue' receiving FAX '/var/spool/asterisk/fax/1408463017.1.tif'
> [2014-08-19 08:43:37] WARNING[24146][C-00000001] channel.c: Unable to find a codec translation path from (nothing) to (slin)
> [2014-08-19 08:43:37] ERROR[24146][C-00000001] res_fax.c: channel 'Message/ast_msg_queue' failed to set write format to signed linear'.
> {code}
> I believe this should be pretty easy to reproduce. The severity of this is not super high since you have to be pointing the message at a DID that routes to ReceiveFAX, but if anonymous SIP is allowed on an Asterisk installation and there is a route to ReceiveFAX then the system could be subject to a DoS attack that will crash Asterisk. And of course, users could easily configure a box with bad routing to have the same result...
