  - PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C. A buffer overflow
    vulnerability in versions 2.12 and prior affects applications that use PJSIP DNS resolution. It doesn't
    affect PJSIP users who utilize an external resolver. This vulnerability is related to CVE-2023-27585. The
    difference is that this issue is in parsing the query record `parse_rr()`, while the issue in
    CVE-2023-27585 is in `parse_query()`. A patch is available in the `master` branch of the `pjsip/pjproject`
    GitHub repository. A workaround is to disable DNS resolution in PJSIP config (by setting
    `nameserver_count` to zero) or use an external resolver instead. (CVE-2022-24793)

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