In asterisk versions not containing the fix for this issue, disabling T.38 support will prevent this vulnerability from being exploited. T.38 support can be disabled in chan_sip by setting the t38pt_udptl option to "no" (it is off by default). t38pt_udptl = no The chan_ooh323 module should also be disabled by adding the following line in modles.conf. noload => chan_ooh323 Affected Versions Product Release Series Asterisk Open Source 1.4.x All versions Asterisk Open Source 1.6.x All versions Asterisk Business Edition C.x.x All versions AsteriskNOW 1.5 All versions s800i (Asterisk Appliance) 1.2.x All versions Corrected In Product Release Asterisk Open Source 1.4.39.2, 1.6.1.22, 1.6.2.16.2, 1.8.2.4 Asterisk Business Edition C.3.6.3 Patches URL Branch http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/security/AST-2011-002-1.4.diff 1.4 http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/security/AST-2011-002-1.6.1.diff 1.6.1 http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/security/AST-2011-002-1.6.2.diff 1.6.2 http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/security/AST-2011-002-1.8.diff 1.8 Links Asterisk Project Security Advisories are posted at http://www.asterisk.org/security This document may be superseded by later versions; if so, the latest version will be posted at http://downloads.digium.com/pub/security/AST-2011-002.pdf and http://downloads.digium.com/pub/security/AST-2011-002.html Revision History Date Editor Revisions Made 02/21/11 Matthew Nicholson Initial Release Asterisk Project Security Advisory - AST-2011-002 Copyright (c) 2011 Digium, Inc.
