  • Dear Joshua Colp,

    Noted with thanks. So the vulnerability is not related to the Asterisk open source project at all?

  • It is not. The vulnerability mentioned is regarding FreePBX and Elastix, which do use Asterisk but the vulnerability has nothing to do with Asterisk itself.

  • I am using freepbx latest 16 version — am I subject to this problem?
    I am not using elastics, but I installed on a Debian bullseye server, so this is of definite concern to me.

    Thanks.
