CVE Name CVE-2021-26717
Description When re-negotiating for T.38 if the initial remote
response was delayed just enough Asterisk would send
both audio and T.38 in the SDP. If this happened, and
the remote responded with a declined T.38 stream then
Asterisk would crash.
Modules Affected res_pjsip_session.c, res_pjsip_t38.c
Resolution When re-negotiating for T.38, and a delay occurs Asterisk
now sends SDP only for the expected T.38 stream. A check was
also put in place to ensure an active T.38 media stream is
active within Asterisk when attempting to change state for
fax.
