According to the version in its SIP banner, the version of Asterisk running on the remote host is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :
A security bypass vulnerability exists in the VoIP channel drivers, DUNDi, and Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI) components which may allow a remote attacker to send specially crafted packets that bypass all ACL rules other than the first ACL entry. (CVE-2014-8412)
A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the ConfBridge ‘dialplan’ DB function when executed from an external protocol which could allow a remote, authenticated attacker to escalate privileges.
(CVE-2014-8418)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
