Last week I wanted to start changing some 1.4 based Asterisk dialplan to a 1.8 based Asterisk system, and in that process wanted to convert lines like:
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,NoOp()
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,2,GotoIf($[...]?reject,1)
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,3,Dial(SIP/foo/${EXTEN})
...
into using the same => prefix:
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,NoOp()
same => n,GotoIf($[...]?reject,1)
same => n,Dial(SIP/foo/${EXTEN})
The Asterisk Development Team has announced security releases for Asterisk 1.8 and 10. The available security releases are released as versions 1.8.8.2 and 10.0.1. Please note that the security vulnerability in Asterisk 1.8 and 10 does not exist for Asterisk versions 1.4 or 1.6.2.
The release of Asterisk versions 1.8.8.2 and 10.0.1 resolves an issue wherein an attacker attempting to negotiate a secure video stream can crash Asterisk if video support has not been enabled and the res_srtp Asterisk module is loaded.
The issue and its resolution is described in the security advisory.
For more information about the details of these vulnerabilities, please read the security advisory AST-2012-001, which were released at the same time as this announcement.

The AstLinux Team would like to announce the release of 1.0.1. This version is available with either Asterisk 1.4.43 or Asterisk 1.8.8.3. A full changelog and upgrade (or new install) instructions are available on our website. Please follow the upgrade instructions carefully when upgrading from a release prior to 1.0.
Please note that this release includes a change in the way PATA (ide) devices are handled by the kernel. Those devices are now handled by libata which references the drives as /dev/sdx instead of /dev/hdx.
As always, please report any issues (and comments) to the AstLinux mailing list on Sourceforge. (link available at the above website).
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.

(Closes issue ASTERISK-18738)
Reported by: Paul Belanger
* 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. In 1.4 and
