Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2012-6612
2012-04-26 03:06:16
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : asterisk
Product : Fedora 16
Version : 1.8.11.1
Release : 1.fc16
URL : http://www.asterisk.org/
Summary : The Open Source PBX
Description :
Asterisk is a complete PBX in software. It runs on Linux and provides
all of the features you would expect from a PBX and more. Asterisk
does voice over IP in three protocols, and can interoperate with
almost all standards-based telephony equipment using relatively
inexpensive hardware.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
The Asterisk Development Team has announced security releases for Asterisk 1.6.2,
1.8, and 10. The available security releases are released as versions 1.6.2.24,
1.8.11.1, and 10.3.1.
These releases are available for immediate download at
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases
The release of Asterisk 1.6.2.24, 1.8.11.1, and 10.3.1 resolve the following two
issues:
* A permission escalation vulnerability in Asterisk Manager Interface. This
would potentially allow remote authenticated users the ability to execute
commands on the system shell with the privileges of the user running the
Asterisk application.
* A heap overflow vulnerability in the Skinny Channel driver. The keypad
button message event failed to check the length of a fixed length buffer
before appending a received digit to the end of that buffer. A remote
authenticated user could send sufficient keypad button message events that the
buffer would be overrun.
In addition, the release of Asterisk 1.8.11.1 and 10.3.1 resolve the following
issue:
* A remote crash vulnerability in the SIP channel driver when processing UPDATE
requests. If a SIP UPDATE request was received indicating a connected line
update after a channel was terminated but before the final destruction of the
associated SIP dialog, Asterisk would attempt a connected line update on a
non-existing channel, causing a crash.
These issues and their resolution are described in the security advisories.
For more information about the details of these vulnerabilities, please read
security advisories AST-2012-004, AST-2012-005, and AST-2012-006, which were
released at the same time as this announcement.
