  - PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C. Prior to commit a1b707c, a
    stack buffer overflow exists in the SRTP/SDES media transport when processing a=crypto attributes during
    SDP offer/answer (sdes_encode_sdp() in transport_srtp_sdes.c). This affects applications with SRTP enabled
    (use_srtp optional or mandatory, using SDES keying). During media negotiation, the crypto attributes from
    the remote SDP are collected into a fixed-size array without bounding their number; a remote peer that
    includes an excessive number of a=crypto attributes in a single media description can write past the end
    of that array on the stack. This is reachable from an incoming SIP INVITE during offer/answer, before
    application-level authentication. Impact may range from unexpected application termination to control flow
    hijack/memory corruption. Applications that do not enable SRTP are not affected. This issue has been
    patched via commit a1b707c. (CVE-2026-57162)

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