[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk security problem: authorized SIP users can fake any callerid!

Hi there,

all that started by investigating what happens if SIP clients are 
calling anonymously.
The problem: Every client who is registered as a regular user with 
username and secret can fake any callerid in subsequent INVITEs. 
Asterisk does not apply an accountcode or callerid from sip.conf. Those 
calls end up unbilled and untraceable.

Is there any way to fix this problem - did I misunderstand something, 
what am I doing wrong?
