Description:In short, callerid will fail if the checksum is ever calculated to 0x00. A valid checksum lies in the range 0-255, a 16 bit value. We suddenly started seeing our CID tests in production fail fairly consistently. I believe this is due to the transmitted date field incrementing to the point where checksums were more often calculated close to the 0x00 value.

The following line in main/callerid.c which checks the received cid checksum (b) against the calculated checksum will overflow with a checksum of 0x00:

if (b != (256 - (cid->cksum & 0xff))) {

Even though cid->cksum is masked off, 0x100-0x00 is 0x100 which fails this check. A better way to do this is to add our calculated checksum to the transmitted 2's compliment checksum.

if (b + (cid->cksum & 0xff)) {

Added a patch that fixes the issue. Patch applies cleanly to asterisk 1.8.15.
