A remote peer can send crafted SIP/SDP traffic through that configured path.\nAC:L - No race or hard-to-control state is required; the attacker controls the SIP/SDP payload and can drive the oversized Content-Length recomputation. The needed NAT/helper configuration is a normal deployment condition for SIP ALG/firewall use.\nPR:N - In the remote deployment scenario, the attacker only sends network traffic and does not need local credentials or administrative privileges on the target. Local helper setup would require CAP_NET_ADMIN, but that is not required when attacking an already configured SIP NAT gateway.\nUI:N - No victim user action is required once the vulnerable helper is active. Packet processing happens automatically in the netfilter conntrack/NAT path.\nS:U - The corruption occurs inside the Linux kernel networking stack and impacts the same kernel security authority. There is no VM, IOMMU, or cross-authority boundary change.\nC:H - This is kernel stack memory corruption from an out-of-bounds sprintf write. Even though the report shows a KASAN crash, such memory corruption can plausibly be leveraged toward broader kernel compromise, so the higher severity value is appropriate.\nI:H - The bug is an out-of-bounds write on the kernel stack in packet processing. Kernel memory corruption can plausibly alter control data or enable code execution, so integrity impact is high.\nA:H - The reported failure is a KASAN stack-out-of-bounds write in kernel context and can crash or panic the system. The crafted traffic can be sent repeatedly to sustain denial of service." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
