chan_sip.c in the SIP channel driver in Asterisk Open Source 1.6.x before 1.6.2.18.1 and 1.8.x before 1.8.4.3 does not properly handle '\0' characters in SIP packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted packet.

manager.c in the Manager Interface in Asterisk Open Source 1.4.x before 1.4.40.1, 1.6.1.x before 1.6.1.25, 1.6.2.x before 1.6.2.17.3, and 1.8.x before 1.8.3.3 and Asterisk Business Edition C.x.x before C.3.6.4 does not properly check for the system privilege, which allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via an Originate action that has an Async header in conjunction with an Application header.

Asterisk Open Source 1.4.x before 1.4.40.1, 1.6.1.x before 1.6.1.25, 1.6.2.x before 1.6.2.17.3, and 1.8.x before 1.8.3.3 and Asterisk Business Edition C.x.x before C.3.6.4 do not restrict the number of unauthenticated sessions to certain interfaces, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file descriptor exhaustion and disk space exhaustion) via a series of TCP connections.

manager.c in Asterisk Open Source 1.6.1.x before 1.6.1.24, 1.6.2.x before 1.6.2.17.2, and 1.8.x before 1.8.3.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via a series of manager sessions involving invalid data.

tcptls.c in the TCP/TLS server in Asterisk Open Source 1.6.1.x before 1.6.1.23, 1.6.2.x before 1.6.2.17.1, and 1.8.x before 1.8.3.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) by establishing many short TCP sessions to services that use a certain TLS API.

Multiple stack-based and heap-based buffer overflows in the (1) decode_open_type and (2) udptl_rx_packet functions in main/udptl.c in Asterisk Open Source 1.4.x before 1.4.39.2, 1.6.1.x before 1.6.1.22, 1.6.2.x before 1.6.2.16.2, and 1.8 before 1.8.2.4; Business Edition C.x.x before C.3.6.3; AsteriskNOW 1.5; and s800i (Asterisk Appliance), when T.38 support is enabled, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted UDPTL packet.

main/acl.c in Asterisk Open Source 1.6.0.x before 1.6.0.25, 1.6.1.x before 1.6.1.17, and 1.6.2.x before 1.6.2.5 does not properly enforce remote host access controls when CIDR notation "/0" is used in permit= and deny= configuration rules, which causes an improper arithmetic shift and might allow remote attackers to bypass ACL rules and access services from unauthorized hosts.

The design of the dialplan functionality in Asterisk Open Source 1.2.x, 1.4.x, and 1.6.x; and Asterisk Business Edition B.x.x and C.x.x, when using the ${EXTEN} channel variable and wildcard pattern matches, allows context-dependent attackers to inject strings into the dialplan using metacharacters that are injected when the variable is expanded, as demonstrated using the Dial application to process a crafted SIP INVITE message that adds an unintended outgoing channel leg. NOTE: it could be argued that this is not a vulnerability in Asterisk, but a class of vulnerabilities that can occur in any program that uses this feature without the associated filtering functionality that is already available.

Asterisk Open Source 1.6.0.x before 1.6.0.22, 1.6.1.x before 1.6.1.14, and 1.6.2.x before 1.6.2.2, and Business Edition C.3 before C.3.3.2, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via an SIP T.38 negotiation with an SDP FaxMaxDatagram field that is (1) missing, (2) modified to contain a negative number, or (3) modified to contain a large number.

rtp.c in Asterisk Open Source 1.2.x before 1.2.37, 1.4.x before 1.4.27.1, 1.6.0.x before 1.6.0.19, and 1.6.1.x before 1.6.1.11; Business Edition B.x.x before B.2.5.13, C.2.x.x before C.2.4.6, and C.3.x.x before C.3.2.3; and s800i 1.3.x before 1.3.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via an RTP comfort noise payload with a long data length.
