Digium has announced that a new version of Asterisk that remedies two flaws in the voicemail system that could lead to a DoS - (Denial of Service) attack.

This Voicemail vulnerability was caused by a boundary error within the IMAP specific code used in processing voicemail messages.

The above vulnerability is reported in 1.4.x versions and can is fixed in the 1.4.13 update.
