Package : asterisk
Version : 1:13.14.1~dfsg-2+deb9u6
CVE ID : CVE-2019-13161 CVE-2019-18610 CVE-2019-18790 CVE-2019-18976
CVE-2020-28242

Multiple security issues were discovered in asterisk, an Open Source
Private Branch Exchange (PBX).

CVE-2019-13161

A pointer dereference in chan_sip while handling SDP negotiation 
allows an attacker to crash Asterisk

CVE-2019-18610

A remote authenticated Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI) user 
without system authorization could use a specially crafted 
Originate AMI request to execute arbitrary system commands 

CVE-2019-18790

A SIP request can be sent to Asterisk that can change a SIP peer's 
IP address. A REGISTER does not need to occur, and calls can be 
hijacked as a result. The only thing that needs to be known is the 
peer's name; authentication details such as passwords do not need 
to be known. This vulnerability is only exploitable when the nat 
option is set to the default, or auto_force_rport.

CVE-2019-18976

A NULL pointer dereference and crash will occur when asterisk 
receives a re-invite initiating T.38 faxing and has a port of 0 
and no c line in the SDP

CVE-2020-28242

If Asterisk is challenged on an outbound INVITE and the nonce is 
changed in each response, Asterisk will continually send INVITEs 
in a loop. This causes Asterisk to consume more and more memory 
since the transaction will never terminate (even if the call is 
hung up), ultimately leading to a restart or shutdown of Asterisk

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version
1:13.14.1~dfsg-2+deb9u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your asterisk packages.
