CVE-2018-16657 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:11 kamailio to version 5.1.4-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kamailio package and not the kamailio package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.
In Kamailio before 5.0.7 and 5.1.x before 5.1.4, a crafted SIP message with an invalid Via header causes a segmentation fault and crashes Kamailio. The reason is missing input validation in the crcitt_string_array core function for calculating a CRC hash for To tags. (An additional error is present in the check_via_address core function: this function also misses input validation.) This could result in denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code.
