         CVE Name       

    Description  A remote crash can be triggered by sending a SIP packet to   
                 Asterisk with a specially crafted CSeq header and a Via      
                 header with no branch parameter. The issue is that the       
                 PJSIP RFC 2543 transaction key generation algorithm does     
                 not allocate a large enough buffer. By overrunning the       
                 buffer, the memory allocation table becomes corrupted,       
                 leading to an eventual crash.                                
                                                                              
                 This issue is in PJSIP, and so the issue can be fixed        
                 without performing an upgrade of Asterisk at all. However,   
                 we are releasing a new version of Asterisk with the bundled  
                 PJProject updated to include the fix.                        
                                                                              
                 If you are running Asterisk with chan_sip, this issue does   
                 not affect you.                                              

    Resolution  A patch created by the Asterisk team has been submitted and   
                accepted by the PJProject maintainers.
