| CVE Name | CVE-2008-2119 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | During pedantic SIP processing the From header value is |
| | passed to the ast_uri_decode function to be decoded. In |
| | two instances it is possible for the code to cause a |
| | crash as the From header value is not checked to be |
| | non-NULL before being passed to the function. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Resolution | The From header value is now copied into a buffer before |
| | being passed to the ast_uri_decode function if pedantic |
| | is enabled and in another instance it is checked to be |
| | non-NULL before being passed. |
