Log Message:
Update to Asterisk 11.14.1:  this is a security fix release.

The Asterisk Development Team has announced security releases for Certified
Asterisk 1.8.28 and 11.6 and Asterisk 1.8, 11, 12, and 13. The available
security releases are released as versions 1.8.28-cert3, 11.6-cert8, 1.8.32.1,
11.14.1, 12.7.1, and 13.0.1.

The release of these versions resolves the following security vulnerabilities:

* AST-2014-012: Unauthorized access in the presence of ACLs with mixed IP
  address families

  Many modules in Asterisk that service incoming IP traffic have ACL options
  ("permit" and "deny") that can be used to whitelist or blacklist address
  ranges. A bug has been discovered where the address family of incoming
  packets is only compared to the IP address family of the first entry in the
  list of access control rules. If the source IP address for an incoming
  packet is not of the same address as the first ACL entry, that packet
  bypasses all ACL rules.

* AST-2014-018: Permission Escalation through DB dialplan function

  The DB dialplan function when executed from an external protocol, such as AMI,
  could result in a privilege escalation. Users with a lower class authorization
  in AMI can access the internal Asterisk database without the required SYSTEM
  class authorization.

In addition, the release of 11.6-cert8 and 11.14.1 resolves the following
security vulnerability:

* AST-2014-014: High call load with ConfBridge can result in resource exhaustion

  The ConfBridge application uses an internal bridging API to implement
  conference bridges. This internal API uses a state model for channels within
  the conference bridge and transitions between states as different things
  occur. Unload load it is possible for some state transitions to be delayed
  causing the channel to transition from being hung up to waiting for media. As
  the channel has been hung up remotely no further media will arrive and the
  channel will stay within ConfBridge indefinitely.

In addition, the release of 11.6-cert8, 11.14.1, 12.7.1, and 13.0.1 resolves
the following security vulnerability:

* AST-2014-017: Permission Escalation via ConfBridge dialplan function and
                AMI ConfbridgeStartRecord Action

  The CONFBRIDGE dialplan function when executed from an external protocol (such
  as AMI) can result in a privilege escalation as certain options within that
  function can affect the underlying system. Additionally, the AMI
  ConfbridgeStartRecord action has options that would allow modification of the
  underlying system, and does not require SYSTEM class authorization in AMI.
