Asterisk uses OpenSSL for TLS. So, the answer is, it depends on the version
of OpenSSL that was installed for your Asterisk server.

See http://blogs.digium.com/2014/04/11/asterisk-heartbleed/ for more
information.

SIP signalling - in both chan_sip and chan_pjsip - can use TLS as a
transport. If your OpenSSL version is one of those affected by the various
vulnerabilities, then yes, you are at risk.

This also applies to all other modules in Asterisk that use TLS, including
AMI, the HTTP server, and others.
