The FreeSWITCH 1.4.26 release is here!

The FreeSWITCH 1.4.26 release is here! This release contains everything since version 1.4.23. And this is a pretty big release and one of the final routine maintenance releases for the 1.4 branch  so upgrading now is a really good idea.

The FreeSWITCH 1.4 branch is reaching end of life and the FreeSWITCH Team highly recommends beginning your migration to the 1.6 branch.

This is a routine maintenance and security release and the resources are located here:

• Tarballs: http://ift.tt/1S9TSPa
• Packaging: http://ift.tt/1U8FMQN

Security issues:

A bug allowing for a remotely exploited DoS attack through custom crafted network traffic via cJSON has been fixed. We classify this issues as High Severity. A patch was added by Anthony Minessale in commit 4bdca81 to resolve this issue. All versions versions from 1.4.4 through the previous release are vulnerable. We highly recommend updating to the current release version as soon as possible.

Improvements in build system, cross platform support, and packaging:

• FS-8269 [mod_sms] Fixed a build issue

The following bugs were squashed:

• FS-8166 [core] Mute/unmute while shout is playing audio fails because the channel “has a media bug, hard mute not allowed”
• FS-8338 [core] Fix for ringback not working correctly on stereo channels and an issue when setting the ringback variable with an outbound call via the bridge app, if the inbound leg is stereo the ringback tone is still rendered as mono causing the resulting ringback to be higher pitched and incorrect.
