Asterisk vulnerabilities found, patch issued

If you use the Asterisk open-source softswitch, we hope you had a good weekend because you've got some patching to do today. Internet Security Systems found a couple of flaws in Asterisk last week, problems that could let attackers take down the software by sending floods of traffic its way. The good news is that patches were released Saturday that should make Asterisk more resistant to Denial of Service attacks.
