DescriptionGitHub Advisory

PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C. Prior to version 2.17, there is a stack buffer overflow vulnerability when pjmedia-codec parses an RTP payload contain more frames than the caller-provided frames can hold. This issue has been patched in version 2.17.

AnalysisAI

PJSIP versions prior to 2.17 are vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow in the RTP payload parsing mechanism when processing more frames than allocated buffers can accommodate, enabling remote denial of service attacks over the network without authentication. An attacker can trigger a crash by sending specially crafted RTP packets containing excessive frame data, causing the application to become unavailable.

Technical ContextAI

Classified as CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow). Affects Pjsip. PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C. Prior to version 2.17, there is a stack buffer overflow vulnerability when pjmedia-codec parses an RTP payload contain more frames than the caller-provided frames can hold. This issue has been patched in version 2.17.

RemediationAI

A vendor patch is available — apply it immediately. Fixed in version 2.17.. Enable ASLR, DEP/NX, and stack canaries where possible. Restrict network access to the affected service where possible.
