Asterisk 1.6.0.22, Asterisk 1.6.1.14, Asterisk 1.6.2.2 Released
Posted by admin in Asterisk Security Advisories, Releases, Security Advisories, asterisk, sip, t.38 on February 3, 2010
Asterisk The Open Source PBX & Telephony Platform
The Asterisk Development Team has announced security releases for Asterisk as the following versions:
These releases are available for immediate download at http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/
The releases of Asterisk 1.6.0.22, 1.6.1.14, and 1.6.2.2 include the fix described in security advisory AST-2010-001.
The issue is that an attacker attempting to negotiate T.38 over SIP can remotely crash Asterisk by modifying the FaxMaxDatagram field of the SDP to contain either a negative or exceptionally large value. The same crash will occur when the FaxMaxDatagram field is omitted from the SDP, as well.
For more information about the details of this vulnerability, please read the security advisory AST-2010-001, which was released at the same time as this announcement.
For a full list of changes in the current releases, please see the ChangeLog:

Asterisk 1.2.34, Asterisk 1.4.26.1, Asterisk 1.6.0.13, and Asterisk 1.6.1.4 released
Posted by admin in Asterisk Security Advisories, Releases, Security Advisories, asterisk on August 11, 2009
Asterisk The Open Source PBX & Telephony Platform
The Asterisk Development Team is pleased to announce the releases of 1.2.34, 1.4.26.1, 1.6.0.13, and 1.6.1.4. These releases are available for immediate download at http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/
The release of 1.6.1.4 fixes a remote crash security vulnerability in the SIP stack. Although this crash was not demonstrated in any other version, the details of the vulnerability suggested the possibility that related attacks might be possible in the future. We therefore opted to release new versions of all current releases with these fixes applied. For more information about the details of this vulnerability, please read the security advisory AST-2009-005, which was released at the same time as this announcement.
In addition, Asterisk users may notice that we skipped the version numbers 1.6.0.11 and 1.6.1.3. This was intentional, in an effort to avoid confusion about what a particular release contains. Both of those version numbers had candidates for releases made, so backtracking on those changes in a release with the same version number might be confusing. Those release candidates will be reissued with additional bugfixes, as 1.6.0.14-rc1 and 1.6.1.5-rc1, respectively.
For a full list of changes in the current releases, please see the ChangeLogs:
