CVE-2023-27599: OpenSIPS has vulnerability in the parse_to_param() function

Published Mar 15, 2023
·
Updated

OpenSIPS is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server implementation. Prior to versions 3.1.7 and 3.2.4, when the function appendhf handles a SIP message with a malformed To header, a call to the function abort() is performed, resulting in a crash. This is due to the following check in datalump.c:399 in the function anchorlump. An attacker abusing this vulnerability will crash OpenSIPS leading to Denial of Service. It affects configurations containing functions that make use of the affected code, such as the function appendhf. This issue has been fixed in versions 3.1.7 and 3.2.4.
