Asterisk Open Source 1.2.26 through 1.2.30.3 and Business Edition B.2.3.5 through B.2.5.5, when realtime IAX2 users are enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via authentication attempts involving (1) an unknown user or (2) a user using hostname matching.

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
