Asterisk Vulnerable To Denial Of Service Attacks

Internet Security Systems discovers vulnerability in Asterisk to DOS attacks.

July 17th, 2006 ( Post a Comment )

Owen Linderholm

Internet Security Systems, an internet security vendor, provides a free alert and advisory service called X-Force that has warned of a vulnerability to Denial Of Service (DOS) attacks in older versions of Asterisk and in improperly setup configurations of the latest version. Specifically, hackers could disrupt telephony services at an organization powered by Asterisk by exploiting a possibility in the system for a concerted DOS attack.
