  - OpenSIPS is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server implementation. Prior to versions 3.1.7 and 3.2.4,
    OpenSIPS crashes when a malformed SDP body is received and is processed by the `delete_sdp_line` function
    in the sipmsgops module. This issue can be reproduced by calling the function with an SDP body that does
    not terminate by a line feed (i.e. `\n`). The vulnerability was found while performing black-box fuzzing
    against an OpenSIPS server running a configuration that made use of the functions `codec_delete_except_re`
    and `codec_delete_re`. The same issue was also discovered while performing coverage guided fuzzing on the
    function `codec_delete_except_re`. The crash happens because the function `delete_sdp_line` expects that
    an SDP line is terminated by a line feed (`\n`). By abusing this vulnerability, an attacker is able to
    crash the server. It affects configurations containing functions that rely on the affected code, such as
    the function `codec_delete_except_re`. Due to the sanity check that is performed in the `del_lump`
    function, exploitation of this issue will generate an `abort` in the lumps processing function, resulting
    in a Denial of Service. This issue is patched in versions 3.1.7 and 3.2.4. (CVE-2023-27600)

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