+
+  When an incoming request can't be matched to an endpoint, the "artificial"
+  auth object is used to create a challenge to return in a 401 response and we
+  emit a "No matching endpoint found" log message. If the client then responds
+  with an Authorization header but the request still can't be matched to an
+  endpoint, the verification will fail and, as before, we'll create a challenge
+  to return in a 401 response and we emit a "No matching endpoint found" log
+  message.  HOWEVER, because there WAS an Authorization header and it failed
+  verification, we should have also been emitting a "Failed to authenticate"
+  log message but weren't because there was a check that short-circuited that
+  it if the artificial auth was used.  Since many admins use the "Failed to
+  authenticate" message with log parsers like fail2ban, those attempts were not
+  being recognized as suspicious.
+
+  Changes:
+
+  * digest_check_auth() now always emits the "Failed to authenticate" log
+    message if verification of an Authorization header failed even if the
+    artificial auth was used.
+
+  * The verification logic was refactored to be clearer about the handling
+    of the return codes from verify().
+
+  * Comments were added clarify what return codes digest_check_auth() should
+    return to the distributor and the implications of changing them.
+

+  This commit doesn't actually change anything.  It just adds the following
+  upgrade notes that were omitted from the original commits.

+  Resolves: #1097

+
+#### res_pjsip: Fix startup/reload memory leak in config_auth.
+  Author: George Joseph
+  Date:   2025-01-23
+
+  An issue in config_auth.c:ast_sip_auth_digest_algorithms_vector_init() was
+  causing double allocations for the two supported_algorithms vectors to the
+  tune of 915 bytes.  The leak only happens on startup and when a reload is done
+  and doesn't get bigger with the number of auth objects defined.
+
+  * Pre-initialized the two vectors in config_auth:auth_alloc().
+  * Removed the allocations in ast_sip_auth_digest_algorithms_vector_init().
+  * Added a note to the doc for ast_sip_auth_digest_algorithms_vector_init()
+    noting that the vector passed in should be initialized and empty.
+  * Simplified the create_artificial_auth() function in pjsip_distributor.
+  * Set the vector initialization count to 0 in config_global:global_apply().
