> Our gateways (asterisk-13 based) experienced occasional segfaults last days, and inspecting with GDB their coredumps, we finally concluded they are caused by a very specific case in process_sdp() of chan_sip.c:
> 1) Asterisk has been configured with {{preferred_codec_only}} for the relevant peer, and e list, possibly restrictive, of codecs
> 2) the SIP peer starts a valid session through Asterisk (chan_sip) as a B2BUA
> 3) Asterisk issue a T.38 reINVITE (for example with ReceiveFAX application, even if it was not our case)
> 4) the SIP UA (UAS in this case) responds with a "broken" SDP with two m-lines, one for an audio codec _not_ included in the SIP peer allowed list, and another with image/t38
> Such an SDP is broken because a SIP UA is not allowed to responds with multiple m-lines whenever it received just one m-line.
> We reproduced it on a lab with SIPp and the last version *13* released (13.27.0), but I see no change on that part of code also on *master*.
> The reason I choose to tag it as a security issue, is that:
> * with specific configurations
> * a malevolent, authenticated (it can setup a call through the Asterisk server) user
> * can tear down the service
> But I'm not sure it is so serious: I'm inviting you to properly change it.
