> |Description|Two closely related stack based buffer overflows exist in the SIP/SDP   |
> |           |handler of Asterisk, the vulnerabilities are very similar but exist as  |
> |           |two separate unsafe function calls. The T38FaxRateManagement and        |
> |           |T38FaxUdpEC SDP parameters can be exploited remotely leading to         |
> |           |arbitrary code execution without authentication. In order for these     |
> |           |overflows to occur, t38 fax over SIP must be enabled in sip.conf.       |
> |           |Examples of SIP INVITE packets are shown below, however these           |
