CWE-ID: CWE-121
Exploitation vector: Remote access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a stack-based buffer overflow in the nf_nat_sip netfilter helper when processing crafted SIP/SDP messages. A remote attacker can send specially crafted network traffic to cause a denial of service.

The issue is triggered in mangle_content_len() during SIP message handling.
