Name        : asterisk
Product     : Fedora EPEL 6
Version     : 1.8.26.1
Release     : 1.el6
URL         : http://www.asterisk.org/
Summary     : The Open Source PBX
Description :
Asterisk is a complete PBX in software. It runs on Linux and provides
all of the features you would expect from a PBX and more. Asterisk
does voice over IP in three protocols, and can interoperate with
almost all standards-based telephony equipment using relatively
inexpensive hardware.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

A stack overflow flaw was found in Asterisk's cookie processing. A remote attacker could send specially-crafted requests that would cause Asterisk to consume a large amount of memory, crash, or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. This issue affected all 1.8.x and 11.x versions. It has been corrected in versions 1.8.26.1 and 11.8.1.
