Asterisk Project Security Advisory - Host access rules using permit= and deny= configurations behave unpredictably if the CIDR notation /0 is used. Depending on the system's behavior, this may act as desired, but in other cases it might not, thereby allowing access from hosts that should be denied.

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | Host access rules using "permit=" and "deny=" |
| | configurations behave unpredictably if the CIDR notation |
| | "/0" is used. Depending on the system's behavior, this |
| | may act as desired, but in other cases it might not, |
| | thereby allowing access from hosts that should be |
| | denied. |
| | |
| | Note that even if an unauthorized host is allowed access |
| | due to this exploit, authentication measures still in |
| | place would prevent further unauthorized access. |
| | |
| | Note also that there is a workaround for this problem, |
| | which is to use the dotted-decimal format "/0.0.0.0" |
| | instead of CIDR notation. The bug does not exist when |
| | using this format. In addition, this format is what is |
| | used in Asterisk's sample configuration files. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Resolution | Code has been corrected to behave consistently on all |
| | systems when "/0" is used. |
