Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to impersonate a different host and observe or modify SIP signaling.
The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate common name extraction in the TLS backend certificate subject parsers when handling a peer TLS certificate during hostname verification. A remote attacker can present a certificate containing a CN= marker in an unrelated subject field to impersonate a different host and observe or modify SIP signaling.
Only TLS/SIPS transports with verify_server or verify_client set to PJ_TRUE are affected.
