Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - In Sangoma Asterisk through 16.28.0, 17.x and 18.x through 18.14.0, and 19.x through 19.6.0, an incoming
    Setup message to addons/ooh323c/src/ooq931.c with a malformed Calling or Called Party IE can cause a
    crash. (CVE-2022-37325)

  - A use-after-free in res_pjsip_pubsub.c in Sangoma Asterisk 16.28, 18.14, 19.6, and certified/18.9-cert2
    may allow a remote authenticated attacker to crash Asterisk (denial of service) by performing activity on
    a subscription via a reliable transport at the same time that Asterisk is also performing activity on that
    subscription. (CVE-2022-42705)
