Package : asterisk
Vulnerability : several issues
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2012-5976 CVE-2012-5977
Debian Bug : 697230 698112 698118
The security update released in DSA 2605 for Asterisk, caused a
regression that could lead to crashes. Updated packages have now been
made available to correct that behaviour. For reference, the original
advisory text follows.
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Asterisk, a PBX and telephony
toolkit, that allow remote attackers to perform denial of service
attacks.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in
version 1:1.6.2.9-2+squeeze10.
For the testing distribution (wheezy) and unstable distribution (sid),
these problems will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your asterisk packages.
