    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200610-15 (Asterisk: Multiple vulnerabilities) Asterisk contains buffer overflows in channels/chan_mgcp.c from the MGCP driver and in channels/chan_skinny.c from the Skinny channel driver for Cisco SCCP phones. It also dangerously handles client-controlled variables to determine filenames in the Record() function. Finally, the SIP channel driver in channels/chan_sip.c could use more resources than necessary under unspecified circumstances. Impact : A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted audit endpoint (AUEP) response, by sending an overly large Skinny packet even before authentication, or by making use of format strings specifiers through the client-controlled variables. An attacker could also cause a Denial of Service by resource consumption through the SIP channel driver. Workaround : There is no known workaround for the format strings vulnerability at this time. You can comment the lines in /etc/asterisk/mgcp.conf, /etc/asterisk/skinny.conf and /etc/asterisk/sip.conf to deactivate the three vulnerable channel drivers. Please note that the MGCP channel driver is disabled by default.
