📋 Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: fix use of uninitialized rtp_addr in process_sdp
process_sdp() declares union nf_inet_addr rtp_addr on the stack and
passes it to the nf_nat_sip sdp_session hook after walking the SDP
media descriptions. However rtp_addr is only initialized inside the
media loop when a recognized media type with a non-zero port is found.
If the SDP body contains no m= lines, only inactive media sections
(m=audio 0 ...) or only unrecognized media types, rtp_addr is never
assigned. Despite that, the function still calls hooks->sdp_session()
with &rtp_addr, causing nf_nat_sdp_session() to format the stale stack
value as an IP address and rewrite the SDP session owner and connection
lines with it.
With CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO (default on most distributions) this
results in the session-level o= and c= addresses being rewritten to
0.0.0.0 for inactive SDP sessions. Without stack auto-init the
rewritten address is whatever happened to be on the stack.
Fix this by pre-initializing rtp_addr from the session-level connection
address (caddr) when available, and tracking via a have_rtp_addr flag
whether any valid address was established. Skip the sdp_session hook
entirely when no valid address exists.
