   |      CVE Name      | CVE-2007-3764                                     |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Description | The Asterisk Skinny channel driver, chan_skinny, has a   |
   |             | remotely exploitable crash vulnerability. A segfault can |
   |             | occur when Asterisk receives a packet where the claimed  |
   |             | length of the data is between 0 and 3, followed by       |
   |             | length + 4 or more bytes, due to an overly large memcpy. |
   |             | The side effects of this extremely large memcpy have not |
   |             | been investigated.                                       |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Resolution | All users that have chan_skinny enabled should upgrade to |
   |            | the appropriate version listed in the corrected in        |
   |            | section of this advisory. As a workaround, users who do   |
   |            | not require chan_skinny may add the line "noload =>       |
   |            | chan_skinny.so" (without quotes) to                       |
   |            | /etc/asterisk/modules.conf, and restart Asterisk.         |
