| CVE Name | CVE-2007-6430 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | Due to the way database-based registrations ("realtime") |
| | are processed, IP addresses are not checked when the |
| | username is correct and there is no password. An |
| | attacker may impersonate any user using host-based |
| | authentication without a secret, simply by guessing the |
| | username of that user. This is limited in scope to |
| | administrators who have set up the registration database |
| | ("realtime") for authentication and are using only |
| | host-based authentication, not passwords. However, both |
| | the SIP and IAX protocols are affected. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Resolution | As a workaround, administrators may set a password for |
| | all users and peers in their registration "realtime" |
| | database. A fix is included in the newest release of |
| | Asterisk, as provided below. |
