CRITICAL9.8EPSS 0.92%kamailio - security update
Published: 9/7/2018Modified: 4/28/2026
Also known as:DEBIAN-CVE-2018-16657
Description
In Kamailio before 5.0.7 and 5.1.x before 5.1.4, a crafted SIP message with an invalid Via header causes a segmentation fault and crashes Kamailio. The reason is missing input validation in the crcitt_string_array core function for calculating a CRC hash for To tags. (An additional error is present in the check_via_address core function: this function also misses input validation.) This could result in denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code.
