Asterisk Project Security Advisory - AST-2008-007
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Product | Asterisk |
|--------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| Summary | Asterisk installations using cryptographic keys |
| | generated by Debian-based systems may be using a |
| | vulnerable implementation of OpenSSL |
|--------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| Nature of Advisory | Compromised cryptographic keys |
|--------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| Susceptibility | Users of RSA for IAX2 authentication and users of |
| | DUNDi |
|--------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| Severity | Critical |
|--------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| Exploits Known | None specific to Asterisk, but OpenSSL exploits |
| | are circulating |

| CVE Name | CVE-2008-0166 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | The Debian team recently announced that cryptographic |
| | keys generated by their OpenSSL package were created |
| | using a random number generator with predictable |
| | results. This affects Debian's stable and unstable |
| | distributions, as well as Debian-derived systems such as |
| | Ubuntu. See the links in the "Links" session of this |
| | advisory for more information about the vulnerability. |
| | |
| | Asterisk is not directly affected by this vulnerability; |
| | however, Asterisk's 'astgenkey' script uses OpenSSL in |
| | order to generate cryptographic keys. Therefore, |
| | Asterisk users who use RSA for authentication of IAX2 |
| | calls and who use DUNDi may be using compromised keys. |
| | This vulnerability affects any such installation whose |
| | cryptographic keys were generated on a Debian-based |
| | system, even if the Asterisk installation itself is not |
| | on a Debian-based system. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Resolution | Since this is not a vulnerability in Asterisk itself but |
| | in a tool that Asterisk uses, there will be no new |
| | releases made; however, users who are affected by the |
| | Debian OpenSSL vulnerability are strongly encouraged to |
| | upgrade their package of OpenSSL to an uncompromised |
| | version (version 0.9.8c-4 or later) and regenerate all |
| | keys used by Asterisk. |
