| CVE Name | CVE-2008-1332 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | Unauthenticated calls can be made via the SIP channel |
| | driver using an invalid From header. This acts similarly |
| | to the SIP configuration option 'allowguest=yes', in |
| | that calls with a specially crafted From header would be |
| | sent to the PBX in the context specified in the general |
| | section of sip.conf. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Resolution | A fix has been added which checks for the option |
| | 'allowguest' to be enabled before determining that |
| | authentication is not required. |
| | |
| | As a workaround, modify the context in the general |
| | section of sip.conf to point to a non-trusted location |
| | (example: a non-existent context, or a context that does |
| | nothing but hang up the call). |
