debian lts
Calendar Grey April 3, 2022
Dist Debian Esm H88
The recent patch for Asterisk resolves various vulnerabilities within Debian LTS, improving both resilience and defense against potential threats.
Multiple security issues were discovered in asterisk, an Open Source Private Branch Exchange (PBX)

Summary

CVE-2019-13161

A pointer dereference in chan_sip while handling SDP negotiation
allows an attacker to crash Asterisk

CVE-2019-18610

A remote authenticated Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI) user
without system authorization could use a specially crafted
Originate AMI request to execute arbitrary system commands

CVE-2019-18790

A SIP request can be sent to Asterisk that can change a SIP peer's
IP address. A REGISTER does not need to occur, and calls can be
hijacked as a result. The only thing that needs to be known is the
peer's name; authentication details such as passwords do not need
to be known. This vulnerability is only exploitable when the nat
option is set to the default, or auto_force_rport.

CVE-2019-18976

A NULL pointer dereference and crash will occur when asterisk
receives a re-invite initiating T.38 faxing and has a port of 0
and no c line in the SDP

CVE-2020-28242
