Update Information:

fix build on s390
The Asterisk Development Team has announced security releases for Certified

Asterisk 1.8.11 and Asterisk 1.8 and 10. The available security releases are

released as versions 1.8.11-cert7, 1.8.15.1, 10.7.1, and 10.7.1-digiumphones.



These releases are available for immediate download at

http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases



The release of Asterisk 1.8.11-cert7, 1.8.15.1, 10.7.1, and
 10.7.1-digiumphones

resolve the following two issues:



* A permission escalation vulnerability in Asterisk Manager Interface.  This

  would potentially allow remote authenticated users the ability to execute

  commands on the system shell with the privileges of the user running the

  Asterisk application.  Please note that the
 README-SERIOUSLY.bestpractices.txt

  file delivered with Asterisk has been updated due to this and other related

  vulnerabilities fixed in previous versions of Asterisk.



* When an IAX2 call is made using the credentials of a peer defined in a

  dynamic Asterisk Realtime Architecture (ARA) backend, the ACL rules for that

  peer are not applied to the call attempt. This allows for a remote attacker

  who is aware of a peer's credentials to bypass the ACL rules set for
 that

  peer.



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-2012-012 and AST-2012-013, which were released at the

same time as this announcement.
