[asterisk-dev] Critical Updates: Asterisk 1.2.22 and 1.4.8 released

[The Asterisk Development Team]

The Asterisk development team has released Asterisk versions 1.2.22 and
1.4.8.

These releases contain fixes for four critical security vulnerabilities.
 One of these vulnerabilities is a remotely exploitable stack buffer
overflow, which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the
target machine.  The other three are all remotely exploitable crash
vulnerabilities.

We have released Asterisk Security Advisories for each of the
vulnerabilities.  The current version of each advisory can be downloaded
from the ftp site.
