Kamailio ims_qos_npn buffer overflow lets attackers crash the server

A voice call server (Kamailio) can be stopped by one request.

Summary

The ims_qos_npn module in Kamailio copies the Via host value from a SIP REGISTER request into a 46-byte buffer without checking its length. One unauthenticated request can terminate the Kamailio process.

Affected when

  • ims_qos_npn module loaded
  • Rx interface enabled

What to do

If you run Kamailio 6.1.3 or 6.1.4 (or the master branch), check that you run a newer version and read the vendor's advisory. No source names a fixed version.
