Description

Details for this vulnerability have not been published by NIST at this point. Descriptions from software vendor advisories for this issue are provided below.

From VID-E9D2E981-A46D-11E9-BED9-001999F8D30B:

The Asterisk project reports:

When T.38 faxing is done in Asterisk a T.38 reinvite

may be sent to an endpoint to switch it to T.38. If the

endpoint responds with an improperly formatted SDP answer

including both a T.38 UDPTL stream and an audio or video

stream containing only codecs not allowed on the SIP peer

or user a crash will occur. The code incorrectly assumes

that there will be at least one common codec when T.38

is also in the SDP answer.
