Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Asterisk, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands or overwrite arbitrary files.

The first issue is due to a buffer overflow error in the MGCP implementation when processing specially crafted AUEP response messages, which could be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable system.

The second flaw is due to a format string error in the "Record" application when handling malformed filenames, which could be exploited to execute arbitrary commands.

The third vulnerability is due to an input validation error in the "Record" application when handling malformed filenames, which could be exploited to conduct directory traversal attacks and overwrite arbitrary files.
