DescriptionCVE.org

An issue in kamailio v.6.1.1 and before allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the ims_registrar_pcscf module, specifically the pcscf_save_pending/save_pending path and security-agreement parsing in sec_agree.c:parse_sec_agree()

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in Kamailio v6.1.1 and earlier allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash the SIP proxy by sending a crafted SIP REGISTER message with a malformed Security-Agreement header. The vulnerability resides in the ims_registrar_pcscf module's parse_sec_agree() function in sec_agree.c, which unconditionally calls shm_free() on IPSec parameter string pointers that may be NULL or uninitialized when header parsing fails mid-way, corrupting the Kamailio shared memory pool and crashing the process. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires Kamailio to be deployed with the `ims_registrar_pcscf` module loaded - this module is specific to 3GPP IMS P-CSCF roles and is not part of standard or default Kamailio builds. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 7.5 (High) with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H accurately captures the exposure for deployments running the affected module: a single malformed SIP packet over the network with no authentication is sufficient to crash the server. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply upstream fix commit 722c06b3efc53ccb369ce812c685c7d069508187 from https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/commit/722c06b3efc53ccb369ce812c685c7d069508187 to the `src/modules/ims_registrar_pcscf/sec_agree.c` source file and rebuild; no tagged release version incorporating this fix has been independently confirmed at time of analysis, so monitor https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/releases for a patched release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify and inventory all Kamailio instances running version 6.1.1 or earlier, then assess network exposure and document business criticality. …
