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:
