OVERVIEW:

        A Denial of Service (Dos) vulnerability has been reported in the 
        Ingate Firewall and SIParator products.


IMPACT:

        Ingate has released the following information regarding this 
        vulnerability:

        "SIP media ports were sometimes not reused. In certain scenarios 
        involving call hold and/or send-only streams, the SIP module could 
        forget to reuse the media port when the call ended. This could 
        eventually lead to exhaustion of the port pool, so that new calls 
        could not be set up." [1]


MITIGATION:

        To address this vulnerability Ingate has released updates to these
        products which are available from the vendor's website. [2]
