CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when processing malicious input. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data via TCP/TLS or abruptly disconnect to trigger an iostream read error and cause the target service to enter an infinite loop and become unusable.

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when the system is configured with endpoint-specific access control list (ACL) rules. A remote attacker can send a SIP request to cause the system to return a 403 Forbidden response and disclose the existence of the PJSIP endpoint.
