Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Asterisk versions 1.0.x through 1.0.10 Asterisk versions 1.2.x through 1.2.8

Description The issue allows remote attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code and cause a denial of service (crash) via truncated IAX 2 video frames. This occurs because the frames bypass a length check, leading to a buffer overflow involving a negative length check.

Recommendations For Asterisk versions 1.0.x through 1.0.10, update to version 1.0.11 or later. For Asterisk versions 1.2.x through 1.2.8, update to version 1.2.9 or later.
