Asterisk PBX 1.4.19.2 Released

The Asterisk.org development team has released Asterisk version 1.4.19.2. This release includes some IAX2 channel driver updates.  Asterisk 1.4.19.1 was released to address an IAX2 security vulnerability.  Unfortunately, the changes to address the security issue had an unfortunate negative impact on IAX2  performance in Asterisk.  These issues have been addressed and the related fixes are included in this release.  The performance of IAX2 in Asterisk due to these changes should be far better than it was even before the changes were made for the security issue.

Anyone that uses IAX2 should use this release instead of 1.4.19.1.

Asterisk 1.2.28, 1.4.19.1, and 1.6.0-beta8 Released

The Asterisk development team has released versions 1.2.28, 1.4.19.1, and 1.6.0-beta8.

All of these releases contain a security patch for the vulnerability described in the AST-2008-006 security advisory.  1.6.0-beta8 is also a regular update to the 1.6.0 series with a number of bug fixes over the previous beta release.

Early last year, we made some modifications to the IAX2 channel driver to combat potential usage of IAX2 in traffic amplification attacks.  Unfortunately, our fix was not complete and we were not notified of this until the original reporter of the issue decided to release information on how to exploit it to the public.

This issue affects all users of IAX2 that have allowed non-authenticated calls. For more information on the vulnerability, see the published security advisory.

Asterisk iPBX 1.6.0-beta5 Now Available

Greetings,

The Asterisk.org development team has released Asterisk 1.6.0-beta5.  As of this beta of 1.6.0, 1.6.0 is now feature frozen.  In addition to a number of bug fixes, the following new features have been added since beta4:

* The SMDI interface in Asterisk has been reworked to fix a number of
  issues as well as add some new features.  SMDI message information
  is now accessed in the dialplan using some new dialplan functions.
  New options have been added to map Asterisk voicemail boxes to SMDI
  station IDs.  Also, MWI will now properly be sent for systems that have
  some external interface modifying voicemail boxes, such as a web
  interface, or with an email client in the case of IMAP storage.

* The Postgres CDR module now supports some of the features of
  cdr_adaptive_odbc.  Specifically, you may add additional columns into
  the table and they will be set, if you set the corresponding CDR
  variable name.  Also, if you omit columns in your database table,
  those fields will be silently skipped when inserting the record.

* The ResetCDR application now has an 'e' option that re-enables the
  CDR if it has been disabled using the NoCDR option.

* A new CLI command, "devstate change", has been added which allows you
  to change the state of a Custom device.  Custom device states were
  previously only settable by using the DEVICE_STATE() dialplan function.

* The Originate manager action now has its own permission level called
  originate.  Also, if you want this action to be able to execute applications
  that call out to a subshell, it requires the system privilege, as well.
  These changes were made to enhance the security of the manager interface.

For a full list of features that have been introduced from Asterisk 1.4 to Asterisk 1.6.0, see the following file:

* http://svn.digium.com/view/asterisk/branches/1.6.0/CHANGES?view=markup

For a full list of changes to Asterisk 1.6.0 from beta4 to beta5, see the ChangeLog:

* http://svn.digium.com/view/asterisk/tags/1.6.0-beta5/ChangeLog?view=markup

There are a few more issues to resolve in 1.6.0 before it can enter release candidate status, but we expect that to happen relatively soon.

Thank you for your continued support of Asterisk!

Asterisk 1.4.17 Released

The Asterisk.org development team has released Asterisk version 1.4.17.  This release contains a fix for a SIP security issue, as well as a number of other bug fixes.

The security issue is documented in the published security advisory, AST-2008-001.  The vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a crash in the SIP channel driver with a properly crafted transfer.  This issue requires an
authenticated session that allows transfers to be exploited.  If unauthenticated calls with transfer capability are allowed, then this issue could be exploited with an unauthenticated session.  Also, this issue only affects Asterisk 1.4. Asterisk 1.2 is not affected.  Systems that do not use chan_sip are also not
affected.

The security advisory is available at

http://downloads.digium.com/pub/asa/AST-2007-025.pdf
* This is a SQL injection vulnerability in the res_config_pgsql module.  Default installations of Asterisk are not affected.  However, any system using the Postgres Realtime Engine may be remotely exploitable.  This issue only affects Asterisk 1.4, as this module was not in Asterisk 1.2.

http://downloads.digium.com/pub/asa/AST-2007-026.pdf
* This is another SQL injection vulnerability.  The input for the ANI and DNIS fields were not properly escaped.  Default installations of Asterisk are not vulnerable.  However, systems that use the Postgres CDR logging module may be remotely exploitable.  This issue affects both Asterisk 1.2 and 1.4.

Both releases are available on: http://downloads.digium.com
