Update to 1.8.10.1, which fixes 2 security vulnerabilities. The Asterisk Development Team has announced security releases for Asterisk 1.4, 1.6.2 and 1.8. The available security releases are released as versions 1.4.43, 1.6.2.21 and 1.8.7.2.

These releases are available for immediate download at http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases

The release of Asterisk versions 1.4.43, 1.6.2.21, and 1.8.7.2 resolves an issue with possible remote enumeration of SIP endpoints with differing NAT settings.

The release of Asterisk versions 1.6.2.21 and 1.8.7.2 resolves a remote crash possibility with SIP when the 'automon' feature is enabled.

The issues and resolutions are described in the AST-2011-013 and AST-2011-014 security advisories.

For more information about the details of these vulnerabilities, please read the security advisories AST-2011-013 and AST-2011-014, which were released at the same time as this announcement.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201203-21 (Asterisk: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Two vulnerabilities have been found in Asterisk:
      The 'milliwatt_generate()' function in app_milliwatt.c is vulnerable         to a stack overrun (AST-2012-002).
      The 'ast_parse_digest()' function in utils.c is vulnerable to a         stack-based buffer overflow (AST-2012-003).
  Impact :

    A remote unauthenticated attacker could execute arbitrary code or cause       a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

According to the version in its SIP banner, the version of Asterisk running on the remote host is potentially affected by a vulnerability that could allow a remote attacker to crash the server.  The vulnerability can be triggered by sending large audio packets (if the internal_timing option is off), or by negotiating a media format with a sampling rate greater than 32 kHz.  Both attacks require that the dialplan use the Milliwatt application with the 'o' option.

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.
