Version : 1.6.1.17
Release : 1.fc12

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:
Update to 1.6.1.17 * AST-2010-003: Invalid parsing of ACL rules can compromise
security * AST-2010-002: This security release is intended to raise awareness of
how it is possible to insert malicious strings into dialplans, and to advise
developers to read the best practices documents so that they may easily avoid
these dangers. * AST-2010-001: 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 occurs
when the FaxMaxDatagram field is omitted from the SDP as well.
