CVE-2005-2081
Stack-based buffer overflow in the function that parses commands in Asterisk 1.0.7, when the 'write = command' option is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a command that has two double quotes followed by a tab character.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (4.32%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
