CVE-2026-57184
Asterisk: Out-of-Bounds Read in Q.931 Information Element Parser (H.323 Addon)
Asterisk is an open source private branch exchange and telephony toolkit. Prior to Asterisk 20.20.1, 21.12.3, 22.10.1, 23.4.1 and Certified Asterisk 20.7-cert11, 22.8-cert3, insufficient bounds checking in the chan_ooh323 Q.931 information-element parser permits an out-of-bounds read that may allow an unauthenticated attacker to crash Asterisk using carefully crafted setup packets. The chan_ooh323 addon channel driver must be explicitly compiled and installed, which is not the default, and its port must be publicly reachable. This issue is fixed in Asterisk 20.20.1, 21.12.3, 22.10.1, 23.4.1 and Certified Asterisk 20.7-cert11, 22.8-cert3.
