         CVE Name       

   Description It is possible for a user of the Asterisk Manager Interface to 
               bypass a security check and execute shell commands when they   
               should not have that ability. Sending the "Async" header with  
               the "Application" header during an Originate action, allows    
               authenticated manager users to execute shell commands. Only    
               users with the "system" privilege should be able to do this.   

   Resolution Asterisk now performs the proper access check where appropriate 
              during the originate manager action.
