         CVE Name       

    Description  A select set of SIP messages create a dialog in Asterisk.    
                 Those SIP messages must contain a contact header. For those  
                 messages, if the header was not present and using the PJSIP  
                 channel driver, it would cause Asterisk to crash. The        
                 severity of this vulnerability is somewhat mitigated if      
                 authentication is enabled. If authentication is enabled a    
                 user would have to first be authorized before reaching the   
                 crash point.                                                 

    Resolution  When using the Asterisk PJSIP resource, and one of the SIP    
                messages that create a dialog is received Asterisk now        
                checks to see if the message contains a contact header. If    
                it does not Asterisk now responds with a "400 Missing         
                Contact header".
