Synopsis
=======
A vulnerability was discovered in Asterisk which may allow local
attackers to gain root privileges.

Background
=========
A Modular Open Source PBX System.

Affected packages
================
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-misc/asterisk          < 13.32.0-r1            >= 13.32.0-r1 

Description
==========
It was discovered that Gentoo’s Asterisk ebuild does not properly set
permissions on its data directories. This only affects OpenRC systems,
as the flaw was exploitable via the init script.

Impact
=====
A local attacker could escalate privileges.

Workaround
=========
Users should ensure the proper permissions are set as discussed in the
referenced bugs. Do not run /etc/init.d/asterisk checkperms.

Resolution
=========
All Asterisk users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/asterisk-13.32.0-r1"
