CVE Name Pending
Description The CONFBRIDGE dialplan function when executed from an
external protocol (for instance AMI), could result in a
privilege escalation. Also, the AMI action
"ConfbridgeStartRecord" could also be used to execute
arbitrary system commands without first checking for system
access.
Resolution Asterisk now inhibits the CONFBRIDGE function from being
executed from an external interface if the live_dangerously
option is set to no. Also, the "ConfbridgeStartRecord" AMI
action is now only allowed to execute under a user with
system level access.
