Summary:                    Undefined SIP users can exploit default context to
make calls
Description: 
A sip client can exploit the default context created in asterisk server.
Even when a user is not defined anywhere in asterisk config, that user can
place calls to users or extensions through 'default' context.

This is reproducible. Setup info is simple:
1. create an asterisk server
2. Dont care for any users
3. Start server
4. Pick any SIP client e.g. xten lite
5. Enter all info about asterisk server and pick a random user ID which
does not exist on asterisk.
6. xten lite will keep showing some error and asterisk logs will show 'No
matching peer found'
7. xten lite can still place calls to defined extensions
8. if outgoing plan is also part of 'default' context, then that undefined
user was able to dial outside using trunk.

I think this is a big security issue.
