Description

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 flaw exists in the PJSIP channel driver when the 'quality_frequency' configuration is enabled on an AOR when the SIP server's challenges for authentication challenges of the 'OPTIONS' request. A remote attacker could use a specially crafted request to crash the program.

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