Vulnerability in the codec_delete_XX() functions

High
razvancrainea published GHSA-xj5x-g52f-548h Mar 15, 2023

Package

opensips (sipmsgops module)

Affected versions

<=3.2

Patched versions

3.1.7, 3.2.4

Description

OpenSIPS crashes when a malformed SDP body is received and is processed by the delete_sdp_line function in the sipmsgops module. This issue can be reproduced by calling the function with an SDP body that does not terminate by a line feed (i.e. \n).
The vulnerability was found while performing black-box fuzzing against an OpenSIPS server running a configuration that made use of the functions codec_delete_except_re and codec_delete_re. The same issue was also discovered while performing coverage guided fuzzing on the function codec_delete_except_re. The crash happens because the function delete_sdp_line expects that
an SDP line is terminated by a line feed (\n):

Impact

By abusing this vulnerability, an attacker is able to crash the server. It affects configurations containing functions that rely on the affected code, such as the function codec_delete_except_re.

Due to the sanity check that is performed in the del_lump function, exploitation of this issue will generate an abort in the lumps processing function, resulting in a Denial of Service.

Patches

This issue has been fixed by commit 8f87c7c.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
