Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities in Asterisk might allow remote attackers to
cause a Denial of Service condition, or conduct other attacks.
Background
==========
Asterisk is an open source telephony engine and toolkit.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-misc/asterisk < 1.2.37 >= 1.2.37
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Asterisk:
* Nick Baggott reported that Asterisk does not properly process
overly long ASCII strings in various packets (CVE-2009-2726).
* Noam Rathaus and Blake Cornell reported a flaw in the IAX2 protocol
implementation (CVE-2009-2346).
* amorsen reported an input processing error in the RTP protocol
implementation (CVE-2009-4055).
* Patrik Karlsson reported an information disclosure flaw related to
the REGISTER message (CVE-2009-3727).
* A vulnerability was found in the bundled Prototype JavaScript
library, related to AJAX calls (CVE-2008-7220).
Impact
======
A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending a
specially crafted package, possibly causing a Denial of Service
condition, or resulting in information disclosure.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Asterisk users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/asterisk-1.2.37"
NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
available since January 5, 2010. It is likely that your system is
already no longer affected by this issue.
