Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Asterisk, which can be exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to the Skinny channel driver (chan_skinny) improperly processing packets.

The vulnerability is reported in the following versions:
Asterisk Open Source 1.4.x, versions prior to 1.4.10
AsteriskNOW pre-release, versions prior to beta7
