A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) inspection module of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) due to improper parsing of SIP messages. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue by sending a malicious SIP packet to an affected device which triggers an integer underflow that causes the software to try to read unmapped memory, resulting in a crash.Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
