Hi!

A few things:

I think the fix and patch you are looking for is here:
https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-24019

You are running an EOL verison of Asterisk[1] that left security
maintenance on 2015-10-21 which means it could quickly become a
security risk (or may already be) to run that version.

Not only that, you are not up to date on the 1.8 branch which means
your older version could already have security issues or critical bugs
where fixes exist for them. In fact if you update to the latest 1.8 at
least - it should contain the fix you are looking for.

In regards to the issue tracker you do not need a special certificate.
As is mentioned on the front page of the tracker [2] you need to
create an account on signup.asterisk.org.

Hope all that helps! Thanks.
