Description

The Asterisk project reports:

No size checking is done when setting the user field

on a CDR. Thus, it is possible for someone to use an

arbitrarily large string and write past the end of the

user field storage buffer. This allows the possibility

of remote code injection.

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
