Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.891122
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1122-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'asterisk' package(s) announced via the DLA-1122-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'asterisk' package(s) announced via the DLA-1122-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A security vulnerability was discovered in Asterisk, an Open Source PBX and telephony toolkit, that may lead to unauthorized command execution.

The app_minivm module has an externnotify program configuration option that is executed by the MinivmNotify dialplan application. The application uses the caller-id name and number as part of a built string passed to the OS shell for interpretation and execution. Since the caller-id name and number can come from an untrusted source, a crafted caller-id name or number allows an arbitrary shell command injection.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.8.13.1~
dfsg1-3+deb7u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your asterisk packages.
