An asterisk security update has been released for Debian GNU/Linux 7 LTS
Package : asteriskAsterisk security update for Debian 7 LTS
Version : 1:1.8.13.1~dfsg1-3+deb7u7
CVE ID : CVE-2017-14100
Debian Bug : 873908
A security vulnerability was discovered in Asterisk, an Open
Source PBX and telephony toolkit, that may lead to unauthorized
command execution.
The app_minivm module has an "externnotify" program configuration option
that is executed by the MinivmNotify dialplan application. The
application uses the caller-id name and number as part of a built
string passed to the OS shell for interpretation and execution. Since
the caller-id name and number can come from an untrusted source, a
crafted caller-id name or number allows an arbitrary shell command
injection.
For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
1:1.8.13.1~dfsg1-3+deb7u7.
We recommend that you upgrade your asterisk packages.
