Description
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in Kamailio v6.1.3 and v6.1.4 in the ims_registrar_pcscf module. When processing a crafted application/reginfo+xml NOTIFY message, process_contact() copies an attacker-controlled port value from the alias parameter into a fixed 5-byte stack buffer without validating its length. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger stack corruption and terminate the P-CSCF process, resulting in denial of service.

Impact

A stack‑based buffer overflow was discovered in the Kamailio IMS registrar pscf module. The flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to craft a NOTIFY message that copies an attacker‑controlled port value into a fixed five‑byte stack buffer without length validation, corrupting the stack and causing the P‑CSCF process to terminate, which results in denial of service.

Affected Systems

Kamailio versions 6.1.3 and 6.1.4 are vulnerable when the ims_registrar_pcscf module is enabled. The vulnerability is triggered by processing a crafted application/reginfo+xml NOTIFY message and occurs when the alias parameter contains a port value longer than five bytes.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw can be exploited over the network without authentication. No CVSS score is published and EPSS information is unavailable, so the precise exploitation likelihood is unknown. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Kamailio to a version that includes the patch for the ims_registrar_pcscf module (the patch is in commit 21261436492f0014930e804e20586e3833bb91b9, referenced in PR 4958).
  • If an update cannot be applied immediately, disable the ims_registrar_pcscf module or limit its operation to trusted sources to prevent processing of malicious NOTIFY messages.
  • Monitor the P‑CSCF logs for unexpected crashes or service interruptions, and consider tightening firewall rules to block suspicious NOTIFY traffic.
