         CVE Name       Pending                                               

    Description  When handling an INVITE with Replaces message the            
                 res_pjsip_refer module incorrectly assumes that it will be   
                 operating on a channel that has just been created. If the    
                 INVITE with Replaces message is sent in-dialog after a       
                 session has been established this assumption will be         
                 incorrect. The res_pjsip_refer module will then hang up a    
                 channel that is actually owned by another thread. When this  
                 other thread attempts to use the just hung up channel it     
                 will end up using freed channel which will likely cause a    
                 crash.                                                       

    Resolution  If REFER support is not required the res_pjsip_refer module   
                can be unloaded to limit exposure otherwise the               
                res_pjsip_refer module has been patched so it will not allow  
                an in-dialog INVITE with Replaces message to be processed.
