Asterisk Malformed MIME Body Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

Asterisk is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because the application fails to properly handle specially crafted emails.

Exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to cause the application to crash, effectively denying service to legitimate users.

This issue affects Asterisk 1.4.5 to 1.4.11.
