asterisk users - Mar 2009 - AstLinux 0.6.4 available for upgrade

The AstLinux Team is happy to announce that AstLinux 0.6.4 is available. 
  All users of AstLinux are encouraged to upgrade since this release 
fixes the recently reported security vulnerability in Asterisk 1.4.23.1

Right now a mix up on the Sourceforge site is preventing us from 
uploading full install versions, but current users of 0.6.2 or 0.6.3 can 
upgrade to 0.6.4 by using either the 'upgrade-run-image' script from the
command line or the "upgrade firmware" option in the web interface. 
New
versions of the full install will be available as soon as possible on 
the Sourceforge site.


Changes:

Asterisk 1.4.24 is included which fixes several bugs and at least one 
security issue

Asterisk-gui was updated to svn 4618

netsnmp was updated to 5.3.2.3

The web interface was upgraded to add several features/improvements

An arno-upgrade-firewall script was added to break this away from an 
init change.  This won't really affect users of 0.6.x until they move to 
0.7.x which uses a newer version of Arno's firewall.  When the time 
comes, we'll explain the importance.  A serial number file was added to 
trace the version of the firewall config files.



To upgrade from the command line:

1).  upgrade-run-image check http://mirror.astlinux.org/firmware
2).  upgrade-run-image upgrade http://mirror.astlinux.org/firmware
3).  reboot as instructed

To upgrade from the web interface:

1).  Navigate to the system tab on the web interface
2).  Select "check for new", select the confirm box, and click the 
Firmware button.
3).  Select "upgrade with new", select the confirm box, and click the 
Firmware button.
4).  Reboot by checking that confirm button and clicking "Reboot".


Enjoy
