Description

The Asterisk project reports:

No size checking is done when setting the user field

for Party B on a CDR. Thus, it is possible for someone

to use an arbitrarily large string and write past the end

of the user field storage buffer. The earlier AST-2017-001

advisory for the CDR user field overflow was for the Party

A buffer.
