security: Inhibit execution of privilege escalating functions
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. (closes issue ASTERISK-22905) Review: http://reviewboard.digium.internal/r/432/ ........
