AI-suggested
Upgrade FreeSWITCH to version 1.11.2 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Alternatively, setting the configuration parameter rtp_secure_media_inbound to false removes the vulnerable code path. WebRTC DTLS-SRTP legs are not affected by this issue. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
CVE-2026-115928 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in FreeSWITCH prior to version 1.11.2. It occurs in the function switch_core_media_add_crypto() when processing the encoded key and salt length from an inbound SDP a=crypto attribute. A zero-length key and salt cause an underflow in the destination capacity, leading to a buffer overflow on the stack. This overflow can corrupt memory and crash the FreeSWITCH process, dropping all active calls. The vulnerability affects the shipped external profile accessible to unauthenticated callers and authenticated inbound calls on other profiles unless mitigated by configuration. The issue is fixed in FreeSWITCH version 1.11.2.
