   | CVE Name | |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Description | There is a possibility to remotely crash an Asterisk |
   | | server if the server is configured to use realtime IAX2 |
   | | users. The issue occurs if either an unknown user |
   | | attempts to authenticate or if a user that uses hostname |
   | | matching attempts to authenticate. |
   | | |
   | | The problem was due to a broken function call to |
   | | Asterisk's realtime configuration API. |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Resolution | The function calls in question have been fixed. |
