    <p>
    Asterisk is an open source telephony engine and toolkit.

  <description>
    <p>
    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the IAX2 channel
    driver when performing the 3-way handshake (CVE-2008-1897), when
    handling a large number of POKE requests (CVE-2008-3263), when handling
    authentication attempts (CVE-2008-5558) and when handling firmware
    download (FWDOWNL) requests (CVE-2008-3264). Asterisk does also not
    correctly handle SIP INVITE messages that lack a "From" header
    (CVE-2008-2119), and responds differently to a failed login attempt
    depending on whether the user account exists (CVE-2008-3903,
    CVE-2009-0041).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    Remote unauthenticated attackers could send specially crafted data to
    Asterisk, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service via a daemon crash,
    call-number exhaustion, CPU or traffic consumption. Remote
    unauthenticated attackers could furthermore enumerate valid usernames
    to facilitate brute force login attempts.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Asterisk users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-misc/asterisk-1.2.32&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
