    CVE ID : CVE-2009-0041 CVE-2008-3903 CVE-2009-3727 CVE-2008-7220 CVE-2009-4055 CVE-2007-2383
    Debian Bug : 513413 522528 554487 554486 559103


    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in asterisk, an Open Source
    PBX and telephony toolkit. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
    project identifies the following problems:

    CVE-2009-0041

    It is possible to determine valid login names via probing, due to the
    IAX2 response from asterisk (AST-2009-001).

    CVE-2008-3903

    It is possible to determine a valid SIP username, when Digest
    authentication and authalwaysreject are enabled (AST-2009-003).

    CVE-2009-3727

    It is possible to determine a valid SIP username via multiple crafted
    REGISTER messages (AST-2009-008).

    CVE-2008-7220 CVE-2007-2383

    It was discovered that asterisk contains an obsolete copy of the
    Prototype JavaScript framework, which is vulnerable to several security
    issues. This copy is unused and now removed from asterisk
    (AST-2009-009).

    CVE-2009-4055

    It was discovered that it is possible to perform a denial of service
    attack via RTP comfort noise payload with a long data length
    (AST-2009-010).


    For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1:1.4.21.2~dfsg-3+lenny1.

    The security support for asterisk in the oldstable distribution (etch)
    has been discontinued before the end of the regular Etch security
    maintenance life cycle. You are strongly encouraged to upgrade to
    stable.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
    (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.6.2.0~rc7-1.


    We recommend that you upgrade your asterisk packages.
