jabberd-2.2.2 release
July 28, 2008
It's time for next jabberd 2.2 series release.
Get 2.2.2 release as usual at:
http://ftp.xiaoka.com/jabberd2/releases/jabberd-2.2.2.tar.gz
http://ftp.xiaoka.com/jabberd2/releases/jabberd-2.2.2.tar.bz2
and read: http://svn.xiaoka.com/jabberd2/trunk/UPGRADE
This time some new features and some bugfixes.
You are really advised to upgrade.
ChangeLog:
* SSL certificate loading fixes
* Implemented MIO read throttling in c2s. Now we pause reading
socket instead of disconnection on throttle.
* Removed scod module.
* Added a maximum stanza limit to c2s. This can be used to set an
upper limit on the number of individual requests that can be
made in a given window of time.
* Fix a bug in s2s where xmlns="jabber:client" would get appended
to an incoming stanza even though the stanza already had an
xmlns attribute set.

| CVE Name | CVE-2008-3264 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | An attacker may request an Asterisk server to send part |
| | of a firmware image. However, as this firmware download |
| | protocol does not initiate a handshake, the source |
| | address may be spoofed. Therefore, an IAX2 FWDOWNL |
| | request for a firmware file may consume as little as 40 |
| | bytes, yet produces a 1040 byte response. Coupled with |
| | multiple geographically diverse Asterisk servers, an |
| | attacker may flood an victim site with unwanted firmware |
| | packets. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Workaround | The only device which used this firmware upgrade |
| | procedure was the IAXy ATA device, and the last firmware |
| | upgrade was more than 18 months ago. It is unlikely that |
| | any IAXy devices in use today still need the last |
| | firmware upgrade. Therefore, deleting the firmware image |
| | from the directory where it is served from and sending a |
| | reload event to the Asterisk server is sufficient to |
| | purge the firmware image from the Asterisk server's |
| | memory. An Asterisk server which is unable to serve out |
| | the requested firmware image will reply to any such |
| | request with a much smaller REJECT packet, which is |
| | smaller than even the FWDOWNL packet. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Resolution | This firmware download procedure has been disabled by |
| | default in Asterisk. If you should still need to upgrade |
| | IAXys in the field, there is an option 'allowfwdownload' |
| | which can be enabled. However, due to the reasons |
| | specified on the Workaround section, it is recommended |
| | that you leave this option disabled and enable it only on |
| | secure internal networks when an IAXy is initially |
| | provisioned. |

| CVE Name | CVE-2008-3263 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | By flooding an Asterisk server with IAX2 'POKE' |
| | requests, an attacker may eat up all call numbers |
| | associated with the IAX2 protocol on an Asterisk server |
| | and prevent other IAX2 calls from getting through. Due |
| | to the nature of the protocol, IAX2 POKE calls will |
| | expect an ACK packet in response to the PONG packet sent |
| | in response to the POKE. While waiting for this ACK |
| | packet, this dialog consumes an IAX2 call number, as the |
| | ACK packet must contain the same call number as was |
| | allocated and sent in the PONG. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Resolution | The implementation has been changed to no longer allocate |
| | an IAX2 call number for POKE requests. Instead, call |
| | number 1 has been reserved for all responses to POKE |
| | requests, and ACK packets referencing call number 1 will |
| | be silently dropped. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Commentary|This vulnerability was reported to us without exploit code, less than two days before public release, with exploit |
| |code. Additionally, we were not informed of the public release of the exploit code and only learned this fact from a |
| |third party. We reiterate that this is irresponsible security disclosure, and we recommend that in the future, |
| |adequate time be given to fix any such vulnerability. Recommended reading: |
