Official Description
The Publish/Subscribe Framework in the PJSIP channel driver in Asterisk Open Source 12.x before 12.3.1, when sub_min_expiry is set to zero, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and crash) via an unsubscribe request when not subscribed to the device.
