AST-2017-006: Fix app_minivm application MinivmNotify command injection
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.
