PROTOCOL-VOIP Digium Asterisk multiple malformed Accept headers denial of service attempt
This event is generated when an attempt to exploit CVE-2018-7284 is detected. Impact: Attempted Denial of Service Details: When processing a SUBSCRIBE request the res_pjsip_pubsub module stores the accepted formats present in the Accept headers of the request. This code did not limit the number of headers it processed despite having a fixed limit of 32. If more than 32 Accept headers were present the code would write outside of its memory and cause a crash. Ease of Attack: Simple, a public proof of concept exploit exists.
