DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Asterisk, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or
to conduct DoS attacks.

1) An error in the processing of IAX2 "POKE" requests can be
exploited to consume all IAX2 call numbers via multiple "POKE"
requests lacking an "ACK" packet sent in response to a "PONG"
packet.

2) The firmware download protocol does not require a handshake, which
can be exploited to send packets having 1040 bytes to arbitrary
servers via a 40-byte packet with a spoofed source address.

The vulnerabilities are reported in the following products and
versions:
* Asterisk Open Source 1.0.x (all versions)
* Asterisk Open Source 1.2.x (all versions prior to 1.2.30)
