   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Description | The Asterisk Skinny channel driver, chan_skinny, has a   |
   |             | remotely exploitable crash vulnerability. A segfault can |
   |             | occur when Asterisk receives a                           |
   |             | "CAPABILITIES_RES_MESSAGE" packet where the capabilities |
   |             | count is greater than the total number of items in the   |
   |             | capabilities_res_message array. Note that this requires  |
   |             | an authenticated session.                                |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Resolution | Asterisk code has been modified to limit the incoming     |
   |            | capabilities count.                                       |
   |            |                                                           |
   |            | Users with configured Skinny devices should upgrade to    |
   |            | the appropriate version listed in the corrected in        |
   |            | section of this advisory.                                 |
