CVE-2006-5444

74
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-5444 is an integer overflow vulnerability in the Skinny channel driver (chan_skinny.c) of Asterisk 1.0.x before 1.0.12 and 1.2.x before 1.2.13, affecting Cisco SCCP phones. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by manipulating a 'dlen' value, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. With a CVSS score of 7.5, it is considered highly severe due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and potential for full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed on the KEV catalog, a proof-of-concept exploit is available on ExploitDB, and its EPSS score of 0.87 indicates a high likelihood of exploitation, despite minimal community discussion or media coverage.
