Comment 1 Peter Lemenkov 2026-09-23 15:05:13 UTC 
Asterisk in Fedora/EPEL is not affected.

The flaw is in the contrib/scripts/ast_coredumper helper script, which the asterisk package does not ship — only dbsep.cgi (and refcounter.py) from contrib/scripts are packaged. With ast_coredumper not installed, there is no exposure through the package.
