What is CVE-2007-3762?
The IAX2 channel driver in Asterisk is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, which can be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This occurs when an attacker sends a specially crafted voice or video RTP frame that exceeds the expected length, compromising the system's integrity and functionality. Affected versions include those prior to Asterisk 1.2.22 and 1.4.x before 1.4.8, as well as various editions and developer kits. It is essential for users to ensure that their systems are updated to mitigate this risk.
