| CVE Name | |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | The handling of the BYE with Also transfer method was |
| | broken during the development of Asterisk 1.4. If a |
| | transfer attempt is made using this method the system |
| | will immediately crash upon handling the BYE message due |
| | to trying to copy data into a NULL pointer. It is |
| | important to note that a dialog must have already been |
| | established and up in order for this to happen. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Resolution | A fix has been added so that the BYE with Also transfer |
| | method now properly allocates and uses the transfer data |
| | structure. It will no longer try to copy data into a NULL |
| | pointer and will operate properly. |
