The server is vulneable to a Denial of Service attack (crash) caused by
the access to a NULL pointer.
The problem happens in the GetMagicNumberString function which takes
the third byte of the data received from the client on the VOIP port
52999 and returns a text string if this value is valid ("ABC" for type
0, "DEF" for 1, "GHI" for 2 and so on) or NULL if it's invalid.
Then the string returned by this function is compared with another one
and here happens the NULL pointer access.
