Description Kristian Fiskerstrand (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-06-13 12:17:07 UTC
From ${URL}: 
Description  Establishing a TCP or TLS connection to the configured HTTP  
                 or HTTPS port respectively in http.conf and then not         
                 sending or completing a HTTP request will tie up a HTTP      
                 session. By doing this repeatedly until the maximum number   
                 of open HTTP sessions is reached, legitimate requests are    
                 blocked.                                                     

Resolution  The patched versions now have a session_inactivity timeout    
                option in http.conf that defaults to 30000 ms. Users should   
                upgrade to a corrected version, apply the released patches,   
                or disable HTTP support.

Also, from http://seclists.org/bugtraq/2014/Jun/114 : 

    Description  Manager users can execute arbitrary shell commands with the  
                 MixMonitor manager action. Asterisk does not require system  
                 class authorization for a manager user to use the            
                 MixMonitor action, so any manager user who is permitted to   
                 use manager commands can potentially execute shell commands  
                 as the user executing the Asterisk process.                  

    Resolution  Upgrade to a version with the patch integrated, apply the     
                patch, or do not allow users who should not have permission   
                to run shell commands to use AMI.

+  MixMonitor AMI command allowed arbitrary shell commands to be executed
+  (AST-2014-006). Upstream replacement of plain broken SSL read implementation
+  as part of an HTTPS denial of service (AST-2014-007) finally fixes
+  ASTERISK-18345 after almost three years. Relevant downstream patch removed,
+  this means we were very likely not vulnerable.

Arches, please test & mark stable:
=net-misc/asterisk-1.8.28.1
=net-misc/asterisk-11.10.1

Test procedure is to merge with USE="samples" and ensure the init script & daemon survive three stop/start cycles. Leave at least 10 seconds between stop & start and verify using ps aux or openrc "crashed" vs "started" that the daemon is not unstable at launch.

+  And now for the 12 branch, which has additional vulnerabilities in the PJSIP
+  channel driver. MixMonitor AMI command allowed arbitrary shell commands to be
+  executed (AST-2014-006). Upstream replacement of plain broken SSL read
+  implementation as part of an HTTPS denial of service (AST-2014-007) finally
+  fixes ASTERISK-18345 after almost three years. Relevant downstream patch
+  removed, this means we were very likely not vulnerable. Resolves a remote
+  crash in publish/subscribe framework (AST-2014-005) due to deadlock on a
+  synchronously dispatched task.

All ebuilds in this branch are masked; no stabilisation required but vulnerable ebuilds removed from tree.

Tony,

What are we stabilizing? There are a lot of messages but the arches need something clear to work from.

CVE-2014-4047 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-4047):
  Asterisk Open Source 1.8.x before 1.8.28.1, 11.x before 11.10.1, and 12.x
  before 12.3.1 and Certified Asterisk 1.8.15 before 1.8.15-cert6 and 11.6
  before 11.6-cert3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
  (connection consumption) via a large number of (1) inactive or (2)
  incomplete HTTP connections.

CVE-2014-4046 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-4046):
  Asterisk Open Source 11.x before 11.10.1 and 12.x before 12.3.1 and
  Certified Asterisk 11.6 before 11.6-cert3 allows remote authenticated
  Manager users to execute arbitrary shell commands via a MixMonitor action.
