An admin can configure app_minivm with an externnotify program to be run
when a voicemail is received. The app_minivm application MinivmNotify
uses ast_safe_system() for this purpose which is vulnerable to command
injection since the Caller-ID name and number values given to externnotify
can come from an external untrusted source.
* Add ast_safe_execvp() function. This gives modules the ability to run
external commands with greater safety compared to ast_safe_system().
Specifically when some parameters are filled by untrusted sources the new
function does not allow malicious input to break argument encoding. This
may be of particular concern where CALLERID(name) or CALLERID(num) may be
used as a parameter to a script run by ast_safe_system() which could
potentially allow arbitrary command execution.
* Changed app_minivm.c:run_externnotify() to use the new ast_safe_execvp()
instead of ast_safe_system() to avoid command injection.
* Document code injection potential from untrusted data sources for other
shell commands that are under user control.
ASTERISK-27103
Change-Id: I7552472247a84cde24e1358aaf64af160107aef1
This patch allows individual dialplan functions to be marked as
'dangerous', to inhibit their execution from external sources.
A 'dangerous' function is one which results in a privilege escalation.
For example, if one were to read the channel variable SHELL(rm -rf /)
Bad Things(TM) could happen; even if the external source has only read
permissions.
Execution from external sources may be enabled by setting
'live_dangerously' to 'yes' in the [options] section of asterisk.conf.
Although doing so is not recommended.
Also, the ABI was changed to something more reasonable, since Asterisk
12 does not yet have a public release.

This commit introduces the first phase of an effort to manage documentation of the
interfaces in Asterisk in an XML format. Currently, a new format is available for
applications and dialplan functions. A good number of conversions to the new format
are also included.

build times - tested, there is no measureable difference before and
after this commit.
In this change:
use asterisk/compat.h to include a small set of system headers:
inttypes.h, unistd.h, stddef.h, stddint.h, sys/types.h, stdarg.h,
stdlib.h, alloca.h, stdio.h
Where available, the inclusion is conditional on HAVE_FOO_H as determined
by autoconf.
Normally, source files should not include any of the above system headers,
and instead use either "asterisk.h" or "asterisk/compat.h" which does it
better.
For the time being I have left alone second-level directories
(main/db1-ast, etc.).
