Package : asterisk
CVE ID : CVE-2023-27585
Debian Bug : 1036697

A flaw was found in Asterisk, an Open Source Private Branch Exchange. A
buffer overflow vulnerability affects users that use PJSIP DNS resolver.
This vulnerability is related to CVE-2022-24793. The difference is that
this issue is in parsing the query record parse_query(), while the issue
in CVE-2022-24793 is in parse_rr(). A workaround is to disable DNS
resolution in PJSIP config (by setting nameserver_count to zero) or use
an external resolver implementation instead.

For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed
in version 1:16.28.0~dfsg-0+deb11u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your asterisk packages.
