-              Asterisk Project Security Advisory - AST-2011-002
-
-       Product       Asterisk
-       Summary       Multiple array overflow and crash vulnerabilities in
-                     UDPTL code
-  Nature of Advisory Exploitable Stack and Heap Array Overflows
-    Susceptibility   Remote Unauthenticated Sessions
-       Severity      Critical
-    Exploits Known   No
-     Reported On     January 27, 2011
-     Reported By     Matthew Nicholson
-      Posted On      February 21, 2011
-   Last Updated On   February 21, 2011
-   Advisory Contact  Matthew Nicholson <mnicholson at digium.com>
-       CVE Name
-
-  Description When decoding UDPTL packets, multiple stack and heap based
-              arrays can be made to overflow by specially crafted packets.
-              Systems doing T.38 pass through or termination are vulnerable.
-
-  Resolution The UDPTL decoding routines have been modified to respect the
-             limits of exploitable arrays.
-
-             In asterisk versions not containing the fix for this issue,
-             disabling T.38 support will prevent this vulnerability from
-             being exploited. T.38 support can be disabled in chan_sip by
-             setting the t38pt_udptl option to "no" (it is off by default).
-
-             t38pt_udptl = no
-
-             The chan_ooh323 module should also be disabled by adding the
-             following line in modles.conf.
-
-             noload => chan_ooh323

-       A new way of doing BLF pickup was introduced into 1.6.2. This feature adds a
-       call-id value into the XML of a SIP_NOTIFY message sent to alert a subscriber
-       that a device is ringing. This option should only be enabled when the new
-       'notifycid' option is set, but this was not the case. Instead the call-id
-       value was included for every RINGING Notify message, which caused a
-       regression for people who used other methods for call pickup.
-       (Closes issue #17633. Reported, patched by urosh. Patched by dvossel.
-       Tested by: dvossel, urosh, okrief, alecdavis)
