NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream asterisk package and not the asterisk package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The handle_request_info function in channels/chan_sip.c in Asterisk Open Source 1.6.2.x before 1.6.2.21 and 1.8.x before 1.8.7.2, when automon is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a crafted sequence of SIP requests.
