Description

Asterisk Open Source 1.0.x and 1.2.x before 1.2.29 and Business Edition A.x.x and B.x.x before B.2.5.3, when pedantic parsing (aka pedanticsipchecking) is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a SIP INVITE message that lacks a From header, related to invocations of the ast_uri_decode function, and improper handling of (1) an empty const string and (2) a NULL pointer.

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
