Heap-based buffer overflow in the ZRtp::storeMsgTemp function in GNU ZRTPCPP before 3.2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large packet.

libzrtpcpp was updated to fix multiple security issues.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201309-13 (GNU ZRTP: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GNU ZRTP. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process, cause a Denial of Service condition, or obtain       sensitive information.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Fixes CVE-2013-2221, CVE-2013-2222, CVE-2013-2223.

Mark Dowd reports :

Vulnerability 1. Remote Heap Overflow: If an attacker sends a packet larger than 1024 bytes that gets stored temporarily (which occurs many times - such as when sending a ZRTP Hello packet), a heap overflow will occur, leading to potential arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable host.

Vulnerability 2. Multiple Stack Overflows: ZRTPCPP contains multiple stack overflows that arise when preparing a response to a client's ZRTP Hello packet.

Vulnerability 3. Information Leaking / Out of Bounds Reads : The ZRTPCPP library performs very little validation regarding the expected size of a packet versus the actual amount of data received. This can lead to both information leaking and out of bounds data reads (usually resulting in a crash). Information leaking can be performed for example by sending a malformed ZRTP Ping packet.
