AI-suggested
Organizations should immediately upgrade all instances of pjproject to version 2.17 or later, where the vulnerability is patched. For environments where immediate upgrading is not feasible, network-level mitigations such as restricting access to SIP services using firewalls or SIP-aware intrusion prevention systems can reduce exposure. Monitoring SIP traffic for anomalous SUBSCRIBE requests with Expires=0 can help detect potential exploitation attempts. Additionally, applying runtime protections like memory corruption mitigations (e.g., ASLR, DEP) and employing application-layer firewalls that understand SIP protocol semantics can further reduce risk. Vendors embedding pjproject in their products should issue firmware or software updates promptly. Regular vulnerability scanning and penetration testing focused on SIP infrastructure are recommended to identify and remediate vulnerable instances.
Description
PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C. Prior to version 2.17, a heap use-after-free vulnerability exists in PJSIP's event subscription framework (evsub.c) that is triggered during presence unsubscription (SUBSCRIBE with Expires=0). This issue has been patched in version 2.17.
