         CVE Name       Pending                                               

    Description  When an out of call message - delivered by either the SIP    
                 or PJSIP channel driver or the XMPP stack - is handled in    
                 Asterisk, a crash can occur if the channel servicing the     
                 message is sent into the ReceiveFax dialplan application     
                 while using the res_fax_spandsp module.                      
                                                                              
                 Note that this crash does not occur when using the           
                 res_fax_digium module.                                       
                                                                              
                 While this crash technically occurs due to a configuration   
                 issue, as attempting to receive a fax from a channel driver  
                 that only contains textual information will never succeed,   
                 the likelihood of having it occur is sufficiently high as    
                 to warrant this advisory.                                    

    Resolution  The fax family of applications have been updated to handle    
                the Message channel driver correctly. Users using the fax     
                family of applications along with the out of call text        
                messaging features are encouraged to upgrade their versions   
                of Asterisk to the versions specified in this security        
                advisory.                                                     
                                                                              
                Additionally, users of Asterisk are encouraged to use a       
                separate dialplan context to process text messages. This      
                avoids issues where the Message channel driver is passed to   
                dialplan applications that assume a media stream is           
                available. Note that the various channel drivers and stacks   
                provide such an option; an example being the SIP channel      
                driver's outofcall_message_context option.
