NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pjproject package and not the pjproject package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in Teluu pjproject (pjlib and pjlib-util) in PJSIP before 2.7.1. Parsing the numeric header fields in a SIP message (like cseq, ttl, port, etc.) all had the potential to overflow, either causing unintended values to be captured or, if the values were subsequently converted back to strings, a buffer overrun. This will lead to a potential exploit using carefully crafted invalid values.
