The following security vulnerabilities were resolved in these versions:
- AST-2018-009: Remote crash vulnerability in HTTP websocket upgrade
There is a stack overflow vulnerability in the res_http_websocket.so module of
Asterisk that allows an attacker to crash Asterisk via a specially crafted
HTTP request to upgrade the connection to a websocket. The attacker’s
request causes Asterisk to run out of stack space and crash.
