TITLE
Sangoma of Asterisk Vulnerabilities related to uncontrolled search path elements in multiple products, including
Trust: 0.8
DESCRIPTION
Asterisk is an open source private branch exchange and telephony toolkit. Prior to versions 20.7-cert9, 20.18.2, 21.12.1, 22.8.2, and 23.2.2, the asterisk/contrib/scripts/ast_coredumper runs as root, as noted by the NOTES tag on line 689 of the ast_coredumper file. The script will source the contents of /etc/asterisk/ast_debug_tools.conf, which resides in a folder that is writeable by the asterisk user:group. Due to the /etc/asterisk/ast_debug_tools.conf file following bash semantics and it being loaded; an attacker with write permissions may add or modify the file such that when the root ast_coredumper is run; it would source and thereby execute arbitrary bash code found in the /etc/asterisk/ast_debug_tools.conf. This issue has been patched in versions 20.7-cert9, 20.18.2, 21.12.1, 22.8.2, and 23.2.2. Version 20.7-cert9 , 20.18.2 , 21.12.1 , 22.8.2 ,and 23.2.2 Previously, asterisk/contrib/scripts/ast_coredumper But root It will be executed with permission. All information handled by the software may be rewritten. Furthermore, the software may stop working completely. Furthermore, attacks that exploit this vulnerability will not affect other software
