If a registered user is tricked into dialing a malicious number that sends lots of 181 responses to Asterisk, each one will cause a 181 to be sent back to the original caller with an increasing number of entries in the ???Supported??? header. Eventually the number of entries in the header exceeds the size of the entry array and causes a crash.

CVE Name CVE-2020-35776
Description If a registered user is tricked into dialing a
malicious number that sends lots of 181 responses to
Asterisk, each one will cause a 181 to be sent back to
the original caller with an increasing number of
entries in the “Supported” header. Eventually the
number of entries in the header exceeds the size of
the entry array and causes a crash.
Modules Affected res_pjsip_diversion.c
Resolution Before updating the “Supported” header with a new entry,
Asterisk now checks that the entry doesn’t already exist and
that adding an entry won’t exceed the size of the entry
array.
