Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in SIPp, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or to potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors within the "get_remote_ip_media()" and "get_remote_ipv6_media()" functions in call.cpp. These can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted SIP message.

The vulnerabilities are related to:
SA29890

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 3.1. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Do not process untrusted SIP data using the application.
