Digium just release the patch to fix the vulnerability in the iax_chan protocol. I have downloaded the patch, but am hesitant to apply it to a production AAH 2.7 system. Does anyone have any more information on this patch and the procedures for applying it? What it will change/break? etc. Any information you have would be appriciated.

Thank you for this upgrading tutorial.
It works like a out-of-the-box solution to me.
But this is a moment in time.
Do you have a clue how to stay upgraded (sinc Astreisk 1.2.7.1 is already out). And how about other modules?

Great work on the update. Was just wondering if this patch or the A@H 2.8 fixed the soft hangup with the machine not hanging up calls properly. Let me know if the patch fixed it or if i still need to do the work around. Thanks.

Hi Ward, I've just done some fax to email testing for A@H 2.8 which I have posted on Whirlpool. Please feel free to adapt it for your write-ups :) [WM: Incredible help. Thanks. I was really dreading starting all over with this.]

Hi Ward,

Thanks for the updates on how to update… I’ve made a AAH 2.8Beta1 Virtual Machine for people to play with… if they can’t wait for the release. I couldn’t 🙂

Thanks,

Jim

I just spent a several hours on your site. Fantastic – please keep up the great effort.

I am going to lose my virginity to the AAH 2.8 Beta 1 tomorrow.

I wanted to know if these are possible: 1 – a way to record/archive all conversations from certain phone numbers, and/or record during a convo. 2 – a way to transcribe all voicemails for a certain extension. I am trying to use this for a support line for a new business, and want to respond to people by email. It would be cool if I could respond with a transcribed copy of their message.

By the way, I want to donate too, but what’s up with the $5 shipping fee?

[WM: We cater to virgins, but I’m not sure we’ve ever had one visit … until you, of course. Yes, you can record calls to certain extensions and turn it on during a conversation. No, Asterisk won’t transcribe the recordings for you. This works pretty well if you train one of the voice programs with your voice, but it doesn’t work with any voice. As for donations and shipping fees, I’ve screamed at PayPal until I’m blue in the face about their random shipping fees. Who knows, someday they may actually fix it. My apologies. They’re idiots!]
