Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in all versions of sngrep since v0.4.2, due to improper handling of 'Call-ID' and 'X-Call-ID' SIP headers. The functions sipgetcallid and sipgetxcallid in sip.c use the strncpy function to copy header contents into fixed-size buffers without checking the data length. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (DoS) through specially crafted SIP messages.

Remedy

Upgrade to sngrep version 1.8.1
