Looking closer, there are in fact CVEs for some of the issues, E.G.:

https://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/security/AST-2021-001.html

But that refers to a digium:asterisk CPE rather than the
asterisk:open_source one we look for.

Looking at the CPE database, we should probably use that CPE identifier
instead as it looks much more actively used (1154 entries vs 61):

Fabrice, you added the CPE variables for asterisk. Any specific reason
to use asterisk/open_source?
