"According to the version in its SIP banner, the version of Asterisk
running on the remote host is potentially affected by a denial of
service vulnerability. 

A stack overflow flaw exists when an HTTP request with a large number of
cookie headers isn't properly validated.  A remote attacker could
potentially cause a denial of service if a request has an unlimited
number of cookie headers in the request. 

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied
only on the application's self-reported version number.");
