  <description>
    <p>
    Asterisk fails to properly check the length of truncated video frames
    in the IAX2 channel driver which results in a buffer overflow.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially
    crafted IAX2 video stream resulting in the execution of arbitrary code
    with the permissions of the user running Asterisk.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    Disable public IAX2 support.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Asterisk users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/asterisk-1.0.11_p1"</code>
  </resolution>
