Debian DSA-1417-1 : asterisk - missing input sanitising

medium Nessus Plugin ID 29191

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Tilghman Lesher discovered that the logging engine of Asterisk, a free software PBX and telephony toolkit, performs insufficient sanitising of call-related data, which may lead to SQL injection.

Solution

Upgrade the asterisk packages.

For the old stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.0.7.dfsg.1-2sarge6.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.2.13~dfsg-2etch2. Updated packages for ia64 will be provided later.
