MuLabs has posted details of multiple vulnerabilities in Asterisk 1.2.10.

Excerpt:

Vulnerability Details:

A remote stack buffer overflow condition in Asterisk's MGCP implementation could allow for arbitrary code execution. The vulnerable code is triggered with the use of a malformed AUEP (audit endpoint) response message.

A second issue exists in the handling of file names sent to the Record()application which could lead to arbitrary code execution via a format string attack or arbitrary file-overwrite via directory traversal techniques. The impact of this vulnerability is minimal, however, as it requires an administrator to use a client-controlled variable as part of the filename.

Solution:

Mu Security would like to thank the Asterisk security team for their timely response to these issues.

A patch for the buffer overflow is available from the following link:
http://ftp.digium.com/pub/asterisk/asterisk-1.2.11-patch.gz

To protect against the Record() vulnerability, do not use user-controlled variables ( eg, ${CALLERIDNAME} ) as part of the the filename argument.

Update
There is an entry on mantis regarding the above, which has not been committed.
