Detailed vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack on outbound sips connections.

The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation in sip_transport_tls when handling tls handshakes on GnuTLS builds with verify_server enabled. A remote attacker can present an untrusted, expired, or self-signed certificate to perform a man-in-the-middle attack on outbound sips connections.

Only GnuTLS builds configured with --with-gnutls are vulnerable.
