Description:Few days ago I downloaded last free version of Nessus scanner (www.nessus.org) and I did scanning my Asterisk host. In few seconds after scanning begun, Asterisk crashed at some vulnerability in module chan_skinny (scanning was from host 10.99.4.12):

*CLI> skinny set debug on
Skinny Debugging Enabled
*CLI>     -- Starting Skinny session from 10.99.4.12
Segmentation fault
[Mar 23 03:04:24] WARNING[13335]: chan_skinny.c:5534 get_input: Skinny Client sent less data than expected.

Using:
Asterisk 1.6.0-beta6
Nessus version 3.2.0 (build 2G281_Q)

I am sorry, by deactivating all modules step-by-step, I found that chan_ooh323.so contains some bug, that led to crash Asterisk.

Module chan_skinny is OK.

Please open another issue if the h323 crash is actually a problem.

In the future, if you suspect there is a security issue, PLEASE send it to security@asterisk.org, rather than post a bug here.
