Download Asterisk 1.2.13/1.0.12

Asterisk is a comprehensive PBX for the BSD, Linux and Mac OS X platform. The program offers all the functions you can expect from a telephone exchange. It includes options for voicemail, conferencing and call queuing. In addition, support for caller ID services, ADSI, SIP and H.323 is available. For a complete overview of all possibilities, we refer you to this page. The developers have released two new versions with 1.2.13 and 1.0.12 as the version numbers. The announcements of both versions look like this:

Asterisk 1.2.13 released – Security Vulnerability Fix

The Asterisk Development team has released an update to Asterisk 1.2, Asterisk 1.2.13.

This release contains a fix for a security vulnerability recently found in the chan_skinny channel driver (for Cisco SCCP phones). This vulnerability would enable an attacker to remotely execute code as the system user running Asterisk (frequently ‘root’). The exploit does not require that the skinny.conf contain any valid phone entries, only that chan_skinny is loaded and operational.

This release also contains a number of bug fixes, and some improvements to the chan_sip channel driver (for SIP devices) to mitigate the impacts of a certain class of denial-of-service attacks that have recently been published.

All Asterisk 1.2 users are urged to update to this release if they use the chan_skinny channel driver, or to stop loading it if it is not needed (‘noload=>chan_skinny.so’ in modules.conf will cause this behavior).

Thanks for using and supporting Asterisk!

Asterisk 1.0.12 released – Security Vulnerability Fix

The Asterisk Development team has released an update to Asterisk 1.0, Asterisk 1.0.12.

This release contains a fix for a security vulnerability recently found in the chan_skinny channel driver (for Cisco SCCP phones). This vulnerability would enable an attacker to remotely execute code as the system user running Asterisk (frequently ‘root’). The exploit does not require that the skinny.conf contain any valid phone entries, only that chan_skinny is loaded and operational.

All Asterisk 1.0 users are urged to update to this release if they use the chan_skinny channel driver, or to stop loading it if it is not needed (‘noload=>chan_skinny.so’ in modules.conf will cause this behavior).
