Asterisk Open Source 1.0.x and 1.2.x before 1.2.29 and Business Edition A.x.x and B.x.x before B.2.5.3, when pedantic parsing (aka pedanticsipchecking) is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a SIP INVITE message that lacks a From header, related to invocations of the ast_uri_decode function, and improper handling of (1) an empty const string and (2) a NULL pointer.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This vulnerability can crash affected Asterisk phone server software when it receives a malformed SIP INVITE and pedantic SIP parsing is enabled. The business impact is service availability: calls may fail until the daemon restarts. It affects very old Asterisk Open Source and Business Edition releases. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Asterisk Open Source 1.0.x or 1.2.x before 1.2.29, and Business Edition A.x.x or B.x.x before B.2.5.3, where SIP is reachable and pedantic parsing is enabled. Treat this as a legacy telephony availability risk. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing or business-critical Asterisk systems, especially where phone outages affect revenue, support, or emergency communications. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Asterisk Open Source 1.2.x deployments to 1.2.29 or later.; Upgrade Business Edition B.x.x deployments to B.2.5.3 or later.; Review vendor guidance for affected 1.0.x and A.x.x deployments..
