SIPp through 3.7.7 contains a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in createAuthHeader() when processing SIP authentication challenges with oversized algorithm parameters. A malicious SIP server can send a crafted 401 or 407 challenge to corrupt the stack and crash the client process.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in SIPp through 3.7.7 allows a malicious SIP server to crash the client process by sending a crafted 401 or 407 authentication challenge containing an oversized algorithm parameter. The flaw originates in createAuthHeader() at src/auth.cpp:183-192, where the original code uses strncpy bounded by end-start (an attacker-controlled length derived from the algorithm field) rather than the fixed size of the stack-allocated algo buffer. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that a SIPp client (through version 3.7.7) be directed to authenticate against a server controlled or intercepted by the attacker, such that the attacker can inject a crafted 401 or 407 SIP challenge response containing an oversized algorithm parameter in the WWW-Authenticate or Proxy-Authenticate header. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VA:H) scores 8.7, reflecting unauthenticated network reachability with no complexity or interaction requirements and a high availability impact. … 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 | Upstream fix available (PR/commit); released patched version not independently confirmed from available references. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
