[VOIPSEC] RTP-borne virus examples?

[Martyn Davies]

I'm with Scott Berkman on this.  I can imagine that you could malform an
RTP packet to crash a phone (or gateway).   But to break the code in
such a way that the payload ends up being executed as code?  These
opportunities will be far and few between.  It seems to me also that
because RTP packets travel unreliably (on UDP), this would be an
inefficient way to deliver a virus, since the packet could get lost
along the way and never even reach destination.

Regards, Martyn
