   |      CVE Name       | CVE-2011-2216                                    |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Description | If a remote user initiates a SIP call and the recipient  |
   |             | picks up, the remote user can reply with a malformed     |
   |             | Contact header that Asterisk will improperly handle and  |
   |             | cause a crash due to a segmentation fault.               |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Resolution | Asterisk now immediately initializes buffer strings       |
   |            | coming into the parse_uri_full function to prevent        |
   |            | outside functions from receiving a NULL value pointer.    |
   |            | This should increase the safety of any function that uses |
   |            | parse_uri or its wrapper functions which previously would |
   |            | attempt to work in the presence of a parse_uri failure by |
   |            | reading off of potentially uninitialized strings.         |
