The following security vulnerabilities were resolved in these versions:


There is a buffer overflow vulnerability in dns_srv and dns_naptr functions of
Asterisk that allows an attacker to crash Asterisk via a specially crafted DNS
SRV or NAPTR response. The attacker’s request causes Asterisk to segfault
and crash.
