CVE-2026-57194
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, an out-of-bounds write in chanunistim DIALPAGE digit handling can overflow the phonenumber field and crash Asterisk when an attacker sends a carefully crafted incoming request packet. The chanunistim module must be loaded and configured with a valid UNISTIM UDP port that the attacker can reach. The attacker must register as a configured phone MAC, or the deployment must have an equivalent production/autoprovisioning path that allows the client to reach the main page. 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.
