Description

CVE-2026-116783 is a high-severity vulnerability in FreeSWITCH prior to version 1.11.2. It involves improper validation of an array index in the udptl_rx_packet() function within the mod_spandsp T.38 fax session handler. A peer can send a larger-than-expected FEC entry count, causing memory corruption by writing beyond fixed-size arrays. This can crash FreeSWITCH and terminate all active calls. Remote code execution has not been demonstrated. The issue is fixed in FreeSWITCH version 1.11.2.
