Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. Stack-based buffer overflow in the function that parses commands in Asterisk 1.0.7, when the 'write = command' option is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a command that has two double quotes followed by a tab character.
