    Asterisk is an open source implementation of a telephone private branch
    exchange (PBX).

  <description>
    <p>
    The MU Security Research Team discovered that Asterisk contains a
    NULL-pointer dereferencing error in the SIP channel when handling
    request messages.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could cause an Asterisk server listening for SIP
    messages to crash by sending a specially crafted SIP request message.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Asterisk users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose net-misc/asterisk</code>
    <p>
    Note: Asterisk 1.0.x is no longer supported upstream so users should
    consider upgrading to Asterisk 1.2.x.
