Package : asterisk
Version : 1:16.28.0~dfsg-0+deb10u3
CVE ID : CVE-2023-27585

A flaw was found in Asterisk, an Open Source Private Branch Exchange. A
buffer overflow vulnerability affects users that use PJSIP DNS resolver.
This vulnerability is related to CVE-2022-24793. The difference is that
this issue is in parsing the query record `parse_query()`, while the issue
in CVE-2022-24793 is in `parse_rr()`. A workaround is to disable DNS
resolution in PJSIP config (by setting `nameserver_count` to zero) or use
an external resolver implementation instead.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
1:16.28.0~dfsg-0+deb10u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your asterisk packages.
