The Asterisk project reports:
If Asterisk is challenged on an outbound INVITE and
the nonce is changed in each response, Asterisk will
continually send INVITEs in a loop. This causes Asterisk
to consume more and more memory since the transaction
will never terminate (even if the call is hung up),
ultimately leading to a restart or shutdown of Asterisk.
Outbound authentication must be configured on the endpoint
for this to occur.
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
