  - PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C. Versions 2.16 and below
    have a Heap-based Buffer Overflowvulnerability in the DNS parser's name length handler. Thisimpacts
    applications using PJSIP's built-in DNS resolver, such as those configured with pjsua_config.nameserver or
    UaConfig.nameserver in PJSUA/PJSUA2. It does not affect users who rely on the OS resolver (e.g.,
    getaddrinfo()) by not configuring a nameserver, or those using an external resolver via
    pjsip_resolver_set_ext_resolver(). This issue is fixed in version 2.17. For users unable to upgrade, a
    workaround is to disable DNS resolution in the PJSIP config (by setting nameserver_count to zero) or to
    use an external resolver implementation instead. (CVE-2026-32945)

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