CVE Name
Description When the "automon" feature is enabled in
features.conf, it
is possible to send a sequence of SIP requests that cause
Asterisk to dereference a NULL pointer and crash.
Resolution Applying the referenced patches that check that the pointer
is not NULL before accessing it will resolve the issue. The
"automon" feature can be disabled in features.conf as
a
workaround.
