critical Nessus Plugin ID 171882

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5358 advisory.

Multiple security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Asterisk, an Open Source Private Branch Exchange. Buffer overflows and other programming errors could be exploited for launching a denial of service attack or the execution of arbitrary code. For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 1:16.28.0~dfsg-0+deb11u2. We recommend that you upgrade your asterisk packages.
For the detailed security status of asterisk please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/asterisk

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the asterisk packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 1
