  - OpenSIPS is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server implementation. Versions 3.4.0 through 3.6.5
    contain a denial of service vulnerability in the presence module. When the presence module's
    handle_publish() function processes a SIP PUBLISH request with an Event: presence header and a message
    body while the configuration option enable_sphere_check=1 is set, it invokes the get_content_type() macro
    without first calling parse_content_type_hdr(), causing it to dereference uninitialized or NULL Content-
    Type parsing state and crash. If a Content-Type header is present but unparsed, msg->content_type->parsed
    is NULL and is dereferenced as a content_t pointer; if the request lacks a Content-Type header entirely,
    msg->content_type itself is NULL, and both cases lead to a crash. A remote attacker can therefore cause a
    denial of service against an affected instance with a single PUBLISH request over UDP or TCP, using either
    a valid Content-Type: application/pidf+xml request or one with the header removed, and the vulnerable code
    path itself does not enforce authentication (though a deployment's routing configuration may require it
    before this route is reached). The issue has been fixed in version 3.6.6 and 4.0.0-rc1. (CVE-2026-45084)

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