in the world, offering flexibility, functionality and features not available
in advanced, high-end (high-cost) proprietary business systems. Asterisk is
a complete IP PBX (private branch exchange) for businesses, and can be

Vulnerability Details:

Asterisk crashes when handed an otherwise valid request message but with no
URI and no SIP-version in the request-line of the message.  For example,
"REGISTER\r\n <other valid SIP headers>".  The crash is due to a null pointer
dereference, and does not appear to be otherwise exploitable.
