A weakness has been identified in Kamailio up to 5.8.8/6.0.7/6.1.4/6.2.0-dev1. The impacted element is the function shm_malloc of the file src/modules/cdp/receiver.c of the component CDP Diameter Receiver. Executing a manipulation can lead to heap-based buffer overflow. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. Upgrading to version 6.0.8 is sufficient to resolve this issue. This patch is called 38711a3e788de0130d48cb485578c482b57d9351/4f62235b6f477b649c5cc18b0c81b4e26c949b98/4f62235b6f477b649c5cc18b0c81b4e26c949b98. You should upgrade the affected component.
AnalysisAI
Heap-based buffer overflow in Kamailio's CDP (C Diameter Peer) module allows a remote party that can deliver a malformed Diameter message to a peer socket to corrupt shared-memory (shm) heap state and potentially disrupt or compromise the process. Affected builds are Kamailio up to 5.8.8, 6.0.7, 6.1.4 and 6.2.0-dev1 that actually load the cdp module; SIP-only deployments are not exposed. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the target Kamailio instance to load the CDP (C Diameter Peer) module and act as a Diameter peer - this is only present in IMS/Diameter deployments, not in typical SIP-only Kamailio setups. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a moderate-priority issue that is real but bounded by deployment scope. … 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 | Upgrade to Kamailio 6.0.8, the release the vendor states is sufficient to resolve the issue (https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/releases/tag/6.0.8); the underlying fix adds a DIAMETER_HEADER_LEN check in do_receive() and is present in PR https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/pull/4877 and commits 38711a3e788de0130d48cb485578c482b57d9351 / 4f62235b6f477b649c5cc18b0c81b4e26c949b98, so downstream packagers on the 5.8.x, 6.1.x and 6.2.x lines should backport that patch if a fixed point release on their branch is not yet available. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
