   |      CVE Name      | CVE-2008-2119                                     |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Description | During pedantic SIP processing the From header value is  |
   |             | passed to the ast_uri_decode function to be decoded. In  |
   |             | two instances it is possible for the code to cause a     |
   |             | crash as the From header value is not checked to be      |
   |             | non-NULL before being passed to the function.            |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Resolution | The From header value is now copied into a buffer before  |
   |            | being passed to the ast_uri_decode function if pedantic   |
   |            | is enabled and in another instance it is checked to be    |
   |            | non-NULL before being passed.                             |
