AI risk analysis

Summary
The flaw allows an attacker to smuggle arbitrary SIP messages by exploiting unsigned int overflow in Content-Length parsing, bypassing security policies and rate limiting.
Exploitability
Exploitation is relatively easy for unauthenticated attackers with network access, requiring only sending a specific oversized Content-Length header.
Blast radius
If exploited, this can significantly impact real-world systems by enabling unauthorized message smuggling across multiple transports, potentially leading to widespread security breaches.
Prioritized remediation
Update OpenSIPS to version 3.6.6 or later to mitigate the vulnerability.

NVD description

OpenSIPS is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server implementation. In versions prior to 3.6.6 and 4.0.0-rc1, the TCP message framing layer parses the Content-Length header using unsigned int arithmetic with no overflow check. When an attacker sends a Content-Length value that overflows unsigned int (e.g., 4294967296), the framing layer computes a wrapped-around value (e.g., 0) and splits the TCP stream at the wrong boundary, causing the body of the first SIP message to be processed as a separate message and enabling SIP message smuggling. Because Content-Length is parsed in the transport layer before authentication, an unauthenticated, network-based attacker can smuggle arbitrary SIP messages over any TCP-based transport (proto_tcp, proto_tls, proto_ws, proto_wss) on any instance with TCP enabled, with no routing-script preconditions. This allows smuggled messages to bypass front-end SBC/proxy security policies, inherit the connection's authentication context, and evade rate limiting. This issue has been fixed in versions 3.6.6 and 4.0.0-rc1.
