Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in various Asterisk products, which could be exploited by attackers or malicious users to bypass security restrictions, cause a denial of service or compromise a vulnerable system.
The first issue is caused by buffer overflow errors in the RTP payload handling code when processing a malformed INVITE or SIP packet with SDP, which could be exploited by attackers to crash an affected application or execute arbitrary code.
The second vulnerability is caused by an error in the SIP channel driver when handling invalid "From" headers, which could be exploited by attackers to perform unauthenticated calls.
The third issue is caused by an error when displaying certain messages using the "ast_verbose()" logging API call or the Manager command "command", which could be exploited to crash an affected application.
The fourth issue is caused by an eror when calculating manager IDs, which could be exploited by attackers to predict the manager ID and hijack a manager session.
