The following security vulnerabilities were resolved in these versions:

  • AST-2021-006: Crash when negotiating T.38 with a zero port
    When Asterisk sends a re-invite initiating T.38 faxing and the endpoint
    responds with a m=image line and zero port, a crash will occur in Asterisk.
    This is a reoccurrence of AST-2019-004.
