AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability resides in the get_4bytes function of the AVP handler module within Kamailio versions up to 5.5.0 and 6.0.7. A crafted SIP message can cause the function to read memory beyond the intended buffer boundaries, potentially exposing sensitive data from the server process. The flaw does not directly grant code execution or privilege escalation, but it may leak application memory contents and other information useful to an attacker.

Affected Systems

Vendors affected are Kamailio, specifically deployments running Kamailio 5.5.0 or earlier and 6.0.7 or earlier. The issue is contained in the module src/modules/ims_registrar_scscf/cxdx_avp.c and is present in all builds that include this component without the recommended patch.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate severity. The exploit is reported to be usable from a remote source, and the public disclosure suggests that it is already being leveraged. EPSS information is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, which reduces but does not eliminate the urgency for remediation. The primary exploit vector is over an untrusted network where an attacker can send a malicious SIP request that triggers the out-of-bounds read.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Kamailio to a version newer than 5.5.0 or 6.0.7, or apply the patch from commit abb5d60af6eefbd367bf6588c5589566b090e272.
  • If an upgrade is not possible, apply the corrective changes from the referenced commit to the cxdx_avp.c module so that get_4bytes performs proper bounds checking.
  • Restrict access to the Kamailio SIP interface to trusted networks or enforce strong ACLs to limit exposure of the vulnerable module.
