## Description

Multiple buffer overflows in the voicemail functionality in Asterisk 1.4.x
before 1.4.13, when using IMAP storage, might allow (1) remote attackers to
execute arbitrary code via a long combination of Content-type and
Content-description headers, or (2) local users to execute arbitrary code
via a long combination of astspooldir, voicemail context, and voicemail
mailbox fields. NOTE: vector 2 requires write access to Asterisk
configuration files.
