Remove systemd dependencies from EL6 and F15
The Asterisk Development Team has announced the release of Asterisk versions
1.4.41.2, 1.6.2.18.2, and 1.8.4.4, which are security releases.

These releases are available for immediate download at
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases

The release of Asterisk 1.4.41.2, 1.6.2.18.2, and 1.8.4.4 resolves the
following issue:

AST-2011-011: Asterisk may respond differently to SIP requests from an
invalid SIP user than it does to a user configured on the system, even when the
alwaysauthreject option is set in the configuration. This can leak information
about what SIP users are valid on the Asterisk system.

For more information about the details of this vulnerability, please read
the security advisory AST-2011-011, which was released at the same time as this
announcement.

The Asterisk Development Team has announced the release of Asterisk versions
1.4.41.1, 1.6.2.18.1, and 1.8.4.3, which are security releases.

These releases are available for immediate download at
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases

The release of Asterisk 1.4.41.1, 1.6.2.18, and 1.8.4.3 resolves several issues
as outlined below:

* AST-2011-008: If a remote user sends a SIP packet containing a null,
 Asterisk assumes available data extends past the null to the
 end of the packet when the buffer is actually truncated when
 copied.  This causes SIP header parsing to modify data past
 the end of the buffer altering unrelated memory structures.
 This vulnerability does not affect TCP/TLS connections.
 -- Resolved in 1.6.2.18.1 and 1.8.4.3

* AST-2011-009: A remote user sending a SIP packet containing a Contact header
 with a missing left angle bracket (<) causes Asterisk to
 access a null pointer.
 -- Resolved in 1.8.4.3

* AST-2011-010: A memory address was inadvertently transmitted over the
 network via IAX2 via an option control frame and the remote party would try
 to access it.
 -- Resolved in 1.4.41.1, 1.6.2.18.1, and 1.8.4.3


The issues and resolutions are described in the AST-2011-008, AST-2011-009, and
AST-2011-010 security advisories.

For more information about the details of these vulnerabilities, please read
the security advisories AST-2011-008, AST-2011-009, and AST-2011-010, which were
