    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200704-01 (Asterisk: Two SIP Denial of Service vulnerabilities) The Madynes research team at INRIA has discovered that Asterisk contains a NULL pointer dereferencing error in the SIP channel when handling INVITE messages. Furthermore qwerty1979 discovered that Asterisk 1.2.x fails to properly handle SIP responses with return code 0. Impact : A remote attacker could cause an Asterisk server listening for SIP messages to crash by sending a specially crafted SIP message or answering with a 0 return code. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
