Advisory Contact Terry Wilson <twilson at digium.com>
CVE Name TBD
Description If Asterisk sends a re-invite and an endpoint responds to
the re-invite with a provisional response but never sends a
final response, then the SIP dialog structure is never
freed and the RTP ports for the call are never released. If
an attacker has the ability to place a call, they could
create a denial of service by using all available RTP
ports.
Resolution A re-invite that receives a provisional response without a
final response is detected and properly cleaned up at
hangup.
