Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2014.0172
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0172)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'asterisk' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0172 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'asterisk' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0172 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated asterisk packages fix security vulnerabilities:

In Asterisk before 11.8.1, sending a HTTP request that is handled by Asterisk
with a large number of Cookie headers could overflow the stack. You could
even exhaust memory if you sent an unlimited number of headers in the request
(CVE-2014-2286).

In Asterisk before 11.8.1, an attacker can use all available file descriptors
using SIP INVITE requests. Each INVITE meeting certain conditions will leak a
channel and several file descriptors. The file descriptors cannot be released
without restarting Asterisk which may allow intrusion detection systems to be
bypassed by sending the requests slowly (CVE-2014-2287).

Affected Software/OS:
'asterisk' package(s) on Mageia 4.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
