• GHSA-v9q8-9j8m-5xwp: Uncontrolled Search-Path Element in safe_asterisk script may allow local privilege escalation.

User Notes:

Upgrade Notes:

• safe_asterisk: Add ownership checks for /etc/asterisk/startup.d and its files.

  The safe_asterisk script now checks that, if it was run by the root user, the /etc/asterisk/startup.d directory and all the files it contains are owned by root. If the checks fail, safe_asterisk will exit with an error and Asterisk will not be started. Additionally, the default logging destination is now stderr instead of tty "9" which probably won't exist in modern systems.
