Two denial of service flaws were found in Asterisk. From http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/security/AST-2013-004.html "A remotely exploitable crash vulnerability exists in the SIP channel driver if an ACK with SDP is received after the channel has been terminated. The handling code incorrectly assumes that the channel will always be present." This issue affected versions 1.8.x (1.8.17.0 and above) and all 11.x versions. From http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/security/AST-2013-005.html "A remotely exploitable crash vulnerability exists in the SIP channel driver if an invalid SDP is sent in a SIP request that defines media descriptions before connection information. The handling code incorrectly attempts to reference the socket address information even though that information has not yet been set." This issue affected all versions of 1.8.x, 10.x, and 11.x. A remote attacker could use these flaws to crash Asterisk. Patches are linked to from the below advisories. These issues affect the versions of Asterisk in Fedora and EPEL 6.
