Summary:                    Incorrect checking of Refer-To and Referred-By SIP
headers
Description: 
Asterisk 1.2.39.

Within asterisk-1.2.39/channels/chan_sip.c, lines 7032 and 7039 the
Refer-To and Referred-By headers are parsed from the SIP request. 

The get_header(...) method returns empty string if the header is not
found, but the test on these lines is only for NULL, so both refer_to and
referred_by can get through as "".

This is not a problem per se for refer_to, as it is checked later on (line
7050) and -1 is returned.

However, referred_by gets set to NULL (line 7057), which (in concert with
the bristuff patches) causes a SEGFAULT when dereferenced.
