CounterPath X-Lite SIP phone Remote Denial of Service vulnerability



Title
=====
CounterPath X-Lite SIP phone Remote Denial of Service vulnerability

Date
====
10 August 2007

Affected Software
=================
X-Lite versions 3.x (tested on 3.0 34025)
Maybe eyeBeam also ;)

Overview
========
X-Lite by CounterPath Solutions, Inc. is a free and wild used SIP based 
softphone. More information about X-Lite 

can be found here: www.counterpath.com
A message validation check flaw in X-Lite SIP phone implementation may allow a 
remote attacker to crash the phone 

causing denial of service.  

Vulnerability Description
=====================
The vulnerability occurs as a result of how the SIP client component handles an 
incorrectly sip packet. Method of 

INVITE or MESSAGE will be ok. MESSAGE is a sip method for Instant Messaging. 
After X-Lite receive a malformed packet without "Content-Type" field, we call 
"Missing Content-Type Vulnerability", 

it will be crash.

Solution
========
Not really.

Credit
======
This vulnerability was discovered by Zwell. http://www.nosec.org
