"The remote Cisco ASA is missing a security patch and may be affected
by a denial of service vulnerability.  When SIP inspection is enabled
and SIP traffic does not establish the secondary connection, duplicate
pre-allocated secondary pinholes are created, which could cause CPU
utilization to increase.  A remote, unauthenticated attacker could
exploit this to cause a denial of service.");
