> Abstract:
> The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP [RFC3261]) provides a mechanism
> for creating, modifying, and terminating sessions with one or more
> participants.  This document describes a vulnerability of SIP
> combined with HTTP Digest Access Authentication [RFC2617] through
> which an attacker can leverage the victim's credentials to send
> authenticated requests on his behalf.  This attack is different from
> the man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack and does not require any
> eavesdropping, DNS or IP spoofing.
