Description
Sofia-SIP through 1.13.18 contains a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in msg_multipart_parse() that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash the process by sending oversized MIME boundaries. Attackers can send an INVITE with a multipart Content-Type whose boundary exceeds the body length, causing memcmp to read past the heap buffer and crash the process.

Impact

Sofia-SIP versions up to 1.13.18 contain a heap out-of-bounds read in the msg_multipart_parse function that can be triggered by sending an INVITE with a multipart Content-Type whose boundary string exceeds the actual body length. The comparison performed by memcmp then reads past the allocated heap buffer, causing the process to crash. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to force the SIP stack to terminate, resulting in a denial-of-service of the telephony service.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Sofia-SIP, the SIP User Agent component of FreeSWITCH. Versions through 1.13.18 are vulnerable; newer releases after this version are not affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates moderate severity, and the EPSS score of <1% shows a very low estimated exploitation probability. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, so no widespread exploitation is known. Attackers can exploit the flaw from any network scope that can reach the SIP service, and no privileged or authenticated state is required. The payload simply causes a crash; it does not arbitrarily execute code or exfiltrate data.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply an available patch or upgrade to a newer release that fixes the out-of-bounds read.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict inbound SIP traffic to known, trusted IP addresses or implement network segmentation to limit exposure to the vulnerable service.
  • Enable service hardening such as running the SIP stack in a sandboxed environment and monitoring for abnormal INVITE requests with unusually large multipart boundaries, so that crashes can be detected and addressed promptly.
