DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Asterisk, which can be
exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions
and compromise a vulnerable system.

1) An error within the Asterisk Manager Interface when handling
"originate" actions does not properly restrict access and can be
exploited to execute arbitrary shell commands via the “ExternalIVR"
application action.

This is related to vulnerability #1 in:
SA48891

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to
have the ability to place calls.

2) An error when making IAX2 calls on behalf of a peer may result in
certain ACL rules to be ignored for the call attempt.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to
have credentials of a peer defined in a dynamic Asterisk Realtime
Architecture (ARA) backend.

Please see the vendor's advisory for a list of affected versions.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches (please see the vendor's advisory for details).
