AST-2013-006 and AST-2013-007, and a minor bug fix update.
pkgsrc change: disable SRTP on NetBSD as it doesn't link
---- 11.6.1 ----
The Asterisk Development Team has announced security releases for Certified
Asterisk 1.8.15, 11.2, and Asterisk 1.8, 10, and 11. The available security
releases are released as versions 1.8.15-cert4, 11.2-cert3, 1.8.24.1, 10.12.4,
10.12.4-digiumphones, and 11.6.1.
The release of these versions resolve the following issues:
* A buffer overflow when receiving odd length 16 bit messages in app_sms. An
infinite loop could occur which would overwrite memory when a message is
received into the unpacksms16() function and the length of the message is an
odd number of bytes.
* Prevent permissions escalation in the Asterisk Manager Interface. Asterisk
now marks certain individual dialplan functions as 'dangerous', which will
inhibit their execution from external sources.
A 'dangerous' function is one which results in a privilege escalation. For
example, if one were to read the channel variable SHELL(rm -rf /) Bad
Things(TM) could happen; even if the external source has only read
permissions.
Execution from external sources may be enabled by setting 'live_dangerously'
to 'yes' in the [options] section of asterisk.conf. Although doing so is not
recommended.
These issues and their resolutions are described in the security advisories.
For more information about the details of these vulnerabilities, please read
security advisories AST-2013-006 and AST-2013-007, which were
released at the same time as this announcement.

Asterisk wiki:
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Upgrading+to+Asterisk+11
A short list of new features includes:
* A new channel driver named chan_motif has been added which provides support
for Google Talk and Jingle in a single channel driver. This new channel
driver includes support for both audio and video, RFC2833 DTMF, all codecs
supported by Asterisk, hold, unhold, and ringing notification. It is also
compliant with the current Jingle specification, current Google Jingle
specification, and the original Google Talk protocol.
* Support for the WebSocket transport for chan_sip.
* SIP peers can now be configured to support negotiation of ICE candidates.
* The app_page application now no longer depends on DAHDI or app_meetme. It
has been re-architected to use app_confbridge internally.
* Hangup handlers can be attached to channels using the CHANNEL() function.
Hangup handlers will run when the channel is hung up similar to the h
extension; however, unlike an h extension, a hangup handler is associated with
the actual channel and will execute anytime that channel is hung up,
regardless of where it is in the dialplan.
* Added pre-dial handlers for the Dial and Follow-Me applications. Pre-dial
allows you to execute a dialplan subroutine on a channel before a call is
placed but after the application performing a dial action is invoked. This
means that the handlers are executed after the creation of the callee
channels, but before any actions have been taken to actually dial the callee
channels.
* Log messages can now be easily associated with a certain call by looking at
a new unique identifier, "Call Id". Call ids are attached to log messages for
just about any case where it can be determined that the message is related
to a particular call.
* Introduced Named ACLs as a new way to define Access Control Lists (ACLs) in
Asterisk. Unlike traditional ACLs defined in specific module configuration
files, Named ACLs can be shared across multiple modules.
* The Hangup Cause family of functions and dialplan applications allow for
inspection of the hangup cause codes for each channel involved in a call.
This allows a dialplan writer to determine, for each channel, who hung up and
for what reason(s).
* Two new functions have been added: FEATURE() and FEATUREMAP(). FEATURE()
lets you set some of the configuration options from the general section
of features.conf on a per-channel basis. FEATUREMAP() lets you customize
the key sequence used to activate built-in features, such as blindxfer,
and automon.
* Support for DTLS-SRTP in chan_sip.
* Support for named pickupgroups/callgroups, allowing any number of pickupgroups
and callgroups to be defined for several channel drivers.
* IPv6 Support for AMI, AGI, ExternalIVR, and the SIP Security Event Framework.
