Advisory Number: VIPER-2007-035
Release Date: 2007.05.15
Source: Sipera VIPER Lab
Systems Affected: Snom 320 SIP Phone (Kernel Version: snom320 linux 3.25, Application-Version: snom320-SIP 6.2.3, Rootfs-Version: snom320 jffs2 v3.36)
Category: Desk SIP Phone Denial of Service
Severity: Medium

Overview

An information leak vulnerability in Snom-320 SIP phone may allow a remote third party to gain access to user’s private call data records.

Impact

User’s privacy is compromised due to un-authenticated access to the call data records through http. This may happen without the knowledge of the user.

Description

Snom-320 SIP phone is a remote-manageable and firmware-upgradeable SIP business telephone. It uses SIP protocol to provide VoIP services to business users. Snom-320 has a built-in web server which supports end-user configuration. The built-in web server listens on standard http port 80.

In addition to port 80, Snom-320 phone has TCP port 1800 open and accessible through http. Accessing port 1800 through a web-browser displays following information without asking for any password (formatted for readability)—
Missed Calls
Date Time Missed Local Identity Number
--/--/---- 5:09PM 1 6000@10.0.250.101 Snom A

Received Calls
Date Time Duration Local Identity Number
--/--/---- 5:10PM 8:23 6000@10.0.250.101

Dialed Numbers
Date Time Duration Local Identity Number
--/--/---- 6:11PM 3:20 6000@10.0.250.101 6007

This allows a remote malicious third party to gain access to user’s private call records.

Solution

Phone web-server implementation should be patched to authenticate users accessing port 1800.
