----- Asterisk 1.8.8.1 -----
The release of Asterisk 1.8.8.1 resolves a regression introduced
in Asterisk 1.8.8.0 reported by the community, and would have not
been possible without your participation. Thank you!
The following is the issue resolved in this release:
* Handle AST_CONTROL_UPDATE_RTP_PEER frames in local bridge loop
Failing to handle AST_CONTROL_UPDATE_RTP_PEER frames in the local
bridge loop causes the loop to exit prematurely. This causes a
variety of negative side effects, which may include having Music
On Hold failing during a SIP Hold.
For a full description of the changes in this release, please see the ChangeLog:

Thank you for your continued support of Asterisk!
----- Asterisk 1.8.8.0 -----
The release of Asterisk 1.8.8.0 resolves several issues reported
by the community and would have not been possible without your
participation. Thank you!
The following is a sample of the issues resolved in this release:
* Updated SIP 484 handling; added Incomplete control frame
When a SIP phone uses the dial application and receives a 484
Address Incomplete response, if overlapped dialing is enabled
for SIP, then the 484 Address Incomplete is forwarded back to
the SIP phone and the HANGUPCAUSE channel variable is set to
28. Previously, the Incomplete application dialplan logic was
automatically triggered; now, explicit dialplan usage of the
application is required.
* Prevent IAX2 from getting IPv6 addresses via DNS
IAX2 does not support IPv6 and getting such addresses from DNS
can cause error messages on the remote end involving bad IPv4
address casts in the presence of IPv6/IPv4 tunnels.
* Fix bad RTP media bridges in directmedia calls on peers separated by
multiple Asterisk nodes.
* Fix crashes in ast_rtcp_write()
* Fix for incorrect voicemail duration in external notifications.
This patch fixes an issue where the voicemail duration was being
reported with a duration significantly less than the actual
sound file duration.
* Prevent segfault if call arrives before Asterisk is fully booted.
* Fix remote Crash Vulnerability in SIP channel driver (AST-2011-012)
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/security/AST-2011-012.pdf
* Fix locking order in app_queue.c which caused deadlocks
* Fix regression in configure script for libpri capability checks
* Prevent BLF subscriptions from causing deadlocks.
* Fix deadlock if peer is destroyed while sending MWI notice.
* Fix issue with setting defaultenabled on categories that are already
enabled by default.
* Don't crash on INFO automon request with no channel
AST-2011-014. When automon was enabled in features.conf, it
was possible to crash Asterisk by sending an INFO request if
no channel had been created yet.
* Fixed crash from orphaned MWI subscriptions in chan_sip
This patch resolves the issue where MWI subscriptions are orphaned
by subsequent SIP SUBSCRIBE messages.
* Default to nat=yes; warn when nat in general and peer differ
AST-2011-013. It is possible to enumerate SIP usernames when
the general and user/peer nat settings differ in whether to
respond to the port a request is sent from or the port listed
for responses in the Via header.

Summary Possible remote enumeration of SIP endpoints with
differing NAT settings
Nature of Advisory Unauthorized data disclosure
Susceptibility Remote unauthenticated sessions
Severity Minor

CVE Name
Description It is possible to enumerate SIP usernames when the general
and user/peer NAT settings differ in whether to respond to
the port a request is sent from or the port listed for
responses in the Via header. In 1.4 and 1.6.2, this would
mean if one setting was nat=yes or nat=route and the other
was either nat=no or nat=never. In 1.8 and 10, this would
mean when one was nat=force_rport or nat=yes and the other
was nat=no or nat=comedia.
Resolution Handling NAT for SIP over UDP requires the differing
behavior introduced by these options.
To lessen the frequency of unintended username disclosure,
the default NAT setting was changed to always respond to the
port from which we received the request-the most commonly
used option.
Warnings were added on startup to inform administrators of
the risks of having a SIP peer configured with a different
setting than that of the general setting. The documentation
now strongly suggests that peers are no longer configured
for NAT individually, but through the global setting in the
"general" context.
Affected Versions
Product Release Series
Asterisk Open Source All All versions
Corrected In
As this is more of an issue with SIP over UDP in general, there is no
fix supplied other than documentation on how to avoid the problem. The
default NAT setting has been changed to what we believe the most
commonly used setting for the respective version in Asterisk 1.4.43,
1.6.2.21, and 1.8.7.2.

This update adds a "jabber" option which is enabled by default.
This option pulls in iksemel which is used by the res_jabber.
Doing this allows chan_jingle (jabber) and chan_gtalk to work.

1.8.7.0:
========
The release of Asterisk 1.8.7.0 resolves several issues reported
by the community and would have not been possible without your
participation. Thank you!
Please note that a significant numbers of changes and fixes have
gone into features.c in this release (call parking, built-in
transfers, call pickup, etc.).
NOTE:
Recently, we were notified that the mechanism included in our
Asterisk source code releases to download and build support for
the iLBC codec had stopped working correctly; a little investigation
revealed that this occurred because of some changes on the
ilbcfreeware.org website. These changes occurred as a result of
Google's acquisition of GIPS, who produced (and provided licenses
for) the iLBC codec.
If you are a user of Asterisk and iLBC together, and you've already
executed a license agreement with GIPS, we believe you can continue
using iLBC with Asterisk. If you are a user of Asterisk and iLBC
together, but you had not executed a license agreement with GIPS,
we encourage you to research the situation and consult with your
own legal representatives to determine what actions you may want
to take (or avoid taking).
More information is available on the Asterisk blog:
http://blogs.asterisk.org/2011/09/19/ilbc-support-in-asterisk-after-googles-acquisition-of-gips/
The following is a sample of the issues resolved in this release:
* Added the 'storesipcause' option to sip.conf to allow the user to
disable the setting of HASH(SIP_CAUSE,) on the channel. Having
chan_sip set HASH(SIP_CAUSE,) on the channel carries a significant
performance penalty because of the usage of the MASTER_CHANNEL()
dialplan function.
We've decided to disable this feature by default in future 1.8
versions. This would be an unexpected behavior change for anyone
depending on that SIP_CAUSE update in their dialplan. Please
refer to the asterisk-dev mailing list more information:
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2011-August/050626.html
* Significant fixes and improvements to parking lots.
(Closes issues ASTERISK-17183, ASTERISK-17870, ASTERISK-17430,
ASTERISK-17452, ASTERISK-17452, ASTERISK-15792.)
* Numerous issues have been reported for deadlocks that are caused
by a blocking read in res_timing_timerfd on a file descriptor
that will never be written to.
A change to Asterisk adds some checks to make sure that the
timerfd is both valid and armed before calling read(). Should
fix: ASTERISK-18142, ASTERISK-18197, ASTERISK-18166 and possibly
others. (In essence, this change should make res_timing_timerfd
usable.)
* Resolve segfault when publishing device states via XMPP and not connected.
(Closes issue ASTERISK-18078.)
* Refresh peer address if DNS unavailable at peer creation.
(Closes issue ASTERISK-18000)
* Fix the missing DAHDI channels when using the newer chan_dahdi.conf
sections for channel configuration.
(Closes issue ASTERISK-18496.)
* Remove unnecessary libpri dependency checks in the configure script.
(Closes issue ASTERISK-18535.)
* Update get_ilbc_source.sh script to work again.
(Closes issue ASTERISK-18412)

Thank you for your continued support of Asterisk!
1.8.6.0:
========
The release of Asterisk 1.8.6.0 resolves several issues reported
by the community and would have not been possible without your
participation. Thank you!
The following is a sample of the issues resolved in this release:
* Fix an issue with Music on Hold classes losing files in playlist
when realtime is used. (Closes issue ASTERISK-17875.)
* Resolve a potential crash in chan_sip when utilizing auth= and
performing a 'sip reload' from the console. (Closes issue
ASTERISK-17939.)
* Address some improper sql statements in res_odbc that would cause
an update to fail on realtime peers due to trying to set as
"(NULL)" rather than an actual NULL. (Closes issue ASTERISK-17791.)
* Resolve issue where 403 Forbidden would always be sent maximum
number of times regardless to receipt of ACK.
* Resolve issue where if a call to MeetMe includes both the dynamic(D)
and always request PIN(P) options, MeetMe will ask for the PIN
two times: once for creating the conference and once for entering
the conference.
* Fix New Zealand indications profile based on
http://www.telepermit.co.nz/TNA102.pdf
(Closes issue ASTERISK-16263.)
* Segfault in shell_helper in func_shell.c
(Closes issue ASTERISK-18109.)
For a full list of changes in this release, please see the ChangeLog:
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/ChangeLog-1.8.6.0
Thank you for your continued support of Asterisk!
The release of Asterisk 1.8.5.0 resolves several issues reported by the
community and would have not been possible without your participation.
Thank you!
The following is a sample of the issues resolved in this release:
* Fix Deadlock with attended transfer of SIP call
* Fixes thread blocking issue in the sip TCP/TLS implementation.
* Be more tolerant of what URI we accept for call completion PUBLISH requests.
* Fix a nasty chanspy bug which was causing a channel leak every time a spied on
channel made a call.
* This patch fixes a bug with MeetMe behavior where the 'P' option for always
prompting for a pin is ignored for the first caller.
* Fix issue where Asterisk does not hangup a channel after endpoint hangs up. If
the call that the dialplan started an AGI script for is hungup while the AGI
script is in the middle of a command then the AGI script is not notified of
the hangup.
* Resolve issue where leaving a voicemail, the MWI message is never sent. The
same thing happens when checking a voicemail and marking it as read.
* Resolve issue where wait for leader with Music On Hold allows crosstalk
between participants. Parenthesis in the wrong position. Regression from issue
#14365 when expanding conference flags to use 64 bits.

| CVE Name | CVE-2011-2536 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | Asterisk may respond differently to SIP requests from an |
| | invalid SIP user than it does to a user configured on |
| | the system, even when the alwaysauthreject option is set |
| | in the configuration. This can leak information about |
| | what SIP users are valid on the Asterisk system. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Resolution | Respond to SIP requests from invalid and valid SIP users |
| | in the same way. Asterisk 1.4 and 1.6.2 do not respond |
| | identically by default due to backward-compatibility |
| | reasons, and must have alwaysauthreject=yes set in |
| | sip.conf. Asterisk 1.8 defaults to alwaysauthreject=yes. |
| | |
| | IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE that users of Asterisk 1.4 |
| | and 1.6.2 set alwaysauthreject=yes in the general section |
| | of sip.conf. |

pkgsrc changes:
- add patch for autosupport script; == -> =
- patch configure to not unconditionally set PBX_LAUNCHD=1
- this allows res_timing_kqueue.so to build
This last change brings a timing source to NetBSD which allows IAX
trunking and allows the bridging modules to work, a rather major
piece that was missing. Note that I haven't extensively tested
it. But, have at it...

CVE Name
Description When forming an outgoing SIP request while in pedantic mode, a
stack buffer can be made to overflow if supplied with
carefully crafted caller ID information. This vulnerability
also affects the URIENCODE dialplan function and in some
versions of asterisk, the AGI dialplan application as well.
The ast_uri_encode function does not properly respect the size
of its output buffer and can write past the end of it when
encoding URIs.
For full details, see:

The release of Asterisk 1.8.2 resolves several issues reported by the
community and would have not been possible without your participation.

Don't bother bumping the version since it didn't build on DFBSD
before there is no binary package that could have changed, and this
doesn't change the binary packages on other systems.
The release of Asterisk 1.8.1.1 resolves two issues reported by the community
since the release of Asterisk 1.8.1.
* Don't crash after Set(CDR(userfield)=...) in ast_bridge_call. Instead of
setting peer->cdr = NULL, set it to not post.
(Closes issue #18415. Reported by macbrody. Patched, tested by jsolares)
* Fixes issue with outbound google voice calls not working. Thanks to az1234
and nevermind_quack for their input in helping debug the issue.

standards-based telephony equipment using relatively inexpensive
hardware.
Asterisk 1.8 is a long term support version (i.e. it will be
supported for four years with an additional year of security only
fixes). See:
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Versions

The Asterisk Development Team has announced the release of Asterisk 1.8.1.
The release of Asterisk 1.8.1 resolves several issues reported by the
community and would have not been possible without your participation.
Thank you!
The following is a sample of the issues resolved in this release:
* Fix issue when using directmedia. Asterisk needs to limit the codecs offered
to just the ones that both sides recognize, otherwise they may end up sending
audio that the other side doesn't understand.
(Closes issue #17403. Reported, patched by one47. Tested by one47, falves11)
* Resolve issue where Party A in an analog 3-way call would continue to hear
ringback after party C answers.
(Patched by rmudgett)
* Fix playback failure when using IAX with the timerfd module.
(Closes issue #18110. Reported, tested by tpanton. Patched by jpeeler)
* Fix problem with qualify option packets for realtime peers never stopping.
The option packets not only never stopped, but if a realtime peer was not in
the peer list multiple options dialogs could accumulate over time.
(Closes issue #16382. Reported by lftsy. Tested by zerohalo. Patched by
jpeeler)
* Fix issue where it is possible to crash Asterisk by feeding the curl engine
invalid data.
(Closes issue #18161. Reported by wdoekes. Patched by tilghman)
