Date: March 28, 2012
Bug(s): #408431
ID: 201203-21

Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Asterisk, the worst of
which may allow execution of arbitrary code.


Background

Asterisk is an open source telephony engine and toolkit.

Affected Packages

Package: net-misc/asterisk
Vulnerable: < 1.8.10.1
Unaffected: >= 1.8.10.1
Architectures: All supported architectures


Description

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.

Resolution

All Asterisk users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code:
# emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/asterisk-1.8.10.1"
