Description

Asterisk is an open source private branch exchange (PBX) and telephony toolkit. Prior to asterisk versions 18.24.2, 20.9.2, and 21.4.2 and certified-asterisk versions 18.9-cert11 and 20.7-cert2, an AMI user with `write=originate` may change all configuration files in the `/etc/asterisk/` directory. This occurs because they are able to curl remote files and write them to disk, but are also able to append to existing files using the `FILE` function inside the `SET` application. This issue may result in privilege escalation, remote code execution and/or blind server-side request forgery with arbitrary protocol. Asterisk versions 18.24.2, 20.9.2, and 21.4.2 and certified-asterisk versions 18.9-cert11 and 20.7-cert2 contain a fix for this issue.

Affected configurations

• asterisk asterisk (< 18.24.2) • asterisk asterisk (>= 19.0.0 < 20.9.1) • asterisk asterisk 21.4.0 • asterisk certified asterisk 13.13.0 • asterisk certified asterisk 16.8 • asterisk certified asterisk 16.8.0 • asterisk certified asterisk 18.9 • asterisk certified asterisk 20.7
