Description

An issue was discovered in Asterisk through 19.x. When using STIR/SHAKEN, it is possible to download files that are not certificates. These files could be much larger than what one would expect to download, leading to Resource Exhaustion. This is fixed in 16.25.2, 18.11.2, and 19.3.2.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

16.15.0 ≤ v ≤ 16.25.118.0 ≤ v < 18.11.219.0.0 ≤ v ≤ 19.3.1
Affected range stops below 18.11.2, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
