   | Description | Host access rules using "permit=" and "deny="            |
   |             | configurations behave unpredictably if the CIDR notation |
   |             | "/0" is used. Depending on the system's behavior, this   |
   |             | may act as desired, but in other cases it might not,     |
   |             | thereby allowing access from hosts that should be        |
   |             | denied.                                                  |
   |             |                                                          |
   |             | Note that even if an unauthorized host is allowed access |
   |             | due to this exploit, authentication measures still in    |
   |             | place would prevent further unauthorized access.         |
   |             |                                                          |
   |             | Note also that there is a workaround for this problem,   |
   |             | which is to use the dotted-decimal format "/0.0.0.0"     |
   |             | instead of CIDR notation. The bug does not exist when    |
   |             | using this format. In addition, this format is what is   |
   |             | used in Asterisk's sample configuration files.           |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Resolution | Code has been corrected to behave consistently on all     |
   |            | systems when "/0" is used.                                |
