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

  <description>
    <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Asterisk:</p>
    
    <ul>
      <li>An error in manager.c allows shell access through the MixMonitor
        application, GetVar, or Status (CVE-2012-2414).
      </li>
      <li>An error in chan_skinny.c could cause a heap-based buffer overflow
        (CVE-2012-2415).
      </li>
      <li>An error in chan_sip.c prevents Asterisk from checking if a channel
        exists before connected line updates (CVE-2012-2416).
      </li>
      <li>An error in chan_iax2.c may cause an invalid pointer to be called
        (CVE-2012-2947).
      </li>
      <li>chan_skinny.c contains a NULL pointer dereference (CVE-2012-2948).</li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
      the process or cause a Denial of Service condition. 
    </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 "&gt;=net-misc/asterisk-1.8.12.1"
    </code>
