   |      CVE Name      | CVE-2008-1332                                     |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Description | Unauthenticated calls can be made via the SIP channel    |
   |             | driver using an invalid From header. This acts similarly |
   |             | to the SIP configuration option 'allowguest=yes', in 
|
   |             | that calls with a specially crafted From header would be |
   |             | sent to the PBX in the context specified in the general  |
   |             | section of sip.conf.                                     |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Resolution | A fix has been added which checks for the option          |
   |            | 'allowguest' to be enabled before determining that    
|
   |            | authentication is not required.                           |
   |            |                                                           |
   |            | As a workaround, modify the context in the general        |
   |            | section of sip.conf to point to a non-trusted location    |
   |            | (example: a non-existent context, or a context that does  |
   |            | nothing but hang up the call).                            |
