Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. Multiple buffer overflows in the voicemail functionality in Asterisk 1.4.x before 1.4.13, when using IMAP storage, might allow (1) remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long combination of Content-type and Content-description headers, or (2) local users to execute arbitrary code via a long combination of astspooldir, voicemail context, and voicemail mailbox fields. NOTE: vector 2 requires write access to Asterisk configuration files.
