NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kamailio package and not the kamailio package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:18.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Kamailio before 5.4.0, as used in Sip Express Router (SER) in Sippy Softswitch 4.5 through 5.2 and other products, allows a bypass of a header-removal protection mechanism via whitespace characters. This occurs in the remove_hf function in the Kamailio textops module. Particular use of remove_hf in Sippy Softswitch may allow skilled attacker having a valid credential in the system to disrupt internal call start/duration accounting mechanisms leading potentially to a loss of revenue.
