Description

According to the version in its SIP banner, the version of Asterisk running on the remote host is potentially affected by a double-free error related to the 'res_http_websocket' module and handling of zero-length payloads that could allow denial of service attacks.

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