Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
The MU Security Research Team discovered that Asterisk contains a |
39 |
NULL-pointer dereferencing error in the SIP channel when handling |
40 |
request messages. |
41 |
|
42 |
Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
A remote attacker could cause an Asterisk server listening for SIP |
46 |
messages to crash by sending a specially crafted SIP request message. |
47 |
|
48 |
Workaround |
49 |
========== |
50 |
|
51 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
52 |
|
53 |
Resolution |
54 |
========== |
55 |
|
56 |
All Asterisk users should upgrade to the latest version: |
57 |
|
58 |
# emerge --sync |
59 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose net-misc/asterisk |
60 |
|
61 |
Note: Asterisk 1.0.x is no longer supported upstream so users should |
62 |
consider upgrading to Asterisk 1.2.x. |
