The Asterisk development team has released versions 1.2.28, 1.4.19.1, and
1.6.0-beta8.

All of these releases contain a security patch for the vulnerability described
in the AST-2008-006 security advisory. 1.6.0-beta8 is also a regular update to
the 1.6.0 series with a number of bug fixes over the previous beta release.

Early last year, we made some modifications to the IAX2 channel driver to combat
potential usage of IAX2 in traffic amplification attacks. Unfortunately, our
fix was not complete and we were not notified of this until the original
reporter of the issue decided to release information on how to exploit it to the
public.

This issue affects all users of IAX2 that have allowed non-authenticated calls.
For more information on the vulnerability, see the published security advisory.

All releases are available for download from the following location:

Thank you for your continued support of Asterisk!

That advisory states that the fix is in 1.4.20, not 1.4.19.1. Why was the 1.4
release tagged as 1.4.19.1?

Personally, I prefer all releases to be x.y.z, and don't see the point in doing
an x.y.z.a just because a change is small.

Cheers
Tony

Reading the changelog of the new release:

2008-04-22 Russell Bryant <russell at digium.com>

* Asterisk 1.4.19.1 released.

2008-04-22 21:14 +0000 [r114522-114550] Russell Bryant <russell at digium.com>

* channels/chan_iax2.c: When we receive a full frame that is
supposed to contain our call number, ensure that it has the
correct one. (closes issue #10078) (AST-2008-006)

2008-04-01 Russell Bryant <russell at digium.com>

* Asterisk 1.4.19 released.

1.4.19.1 is called that way because it is 1.4.19 + <this specific fix>

As you might have noticed, .1 , .2 etc. releases lately were based on
the original release, rather than on the current SVN branch. This
greatly reduces the chance of introducing new bugs when applying the
fix.

When 1.4.20 will be released, it will fix this as well. You could take
current asterisk branch 1.4 just as well. But maybe you prefer 1.4.19.1 .
