          CVE Name       CVE-2018-7285                                        

    Description  The RTP support in Asterisk maintains its own registry of    
                 dynamic codecs and desired payload numbers. While an SDP     
                 negotiation may result in a codec using a different payload  
                 number these desired ones are still stored internally. When  
                 an RTP packet was received this registry would be consulted  
                 if the payload number was not found in the negotiated SDP.   
                 This registry was incorrectly consulted for all packets,     
                 even those which are dynamic. If the payload number          
                 resulted in a codec of a different type than the RTP stream  
                 (for example the payload number resulted in a video codec    
                 but the stream carried audio) a crash could occur if no      
                 stream of that type had been negotiated. This was due to     
                 the code incorrectly assuming that a stream of the type      
                 would always exist.                                          

    Resolution  The RTP support will now only consult the registry for        
                payloads which are statically defined. The core has also      
                been changed to protect against situations where a frame of   
                media is received for a media type that has not been          
                negotiated.                                                   
                                                                              
                To receive these fixes update to the given version of         
                Asterisk or apply the provided patch. There is no             
                configuration which can protect against this vulnerability.
