  - PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C language implementing
    standard based protocols such as SIP, SDP, RTP, STUN, TURN, and ICE. In affected versions if the incoming
    STUN message contains an ERROR-CODE attribute, the header length is not checked before performing a
    subtraction operation, potentially resulting in an integer underflow scenario. This issue affects all
    users that use STUN. A malicious actor located within the victim’s network may forge and send a specially
    crafted UDP (STUN) message that could remotely execute arbitrary code on the victim’s machine. Users are
    advised to upgrade as soon as possible. There are no known workarounds. (CVE-2021-37706)

Versions 2.12 and prior     contain a stack buffer overflow vulnerability that affects PJSUA2 users or users that call the API     `pjmedia_sdp_print(), pjmedia_sdp_media_print()`. Applications that do not use PJSUA2 and do not directly     call `pjmedia_sdp_print()` or `pjmedia_sdp_media_print()` should not be affected. A patch is available on     the `master` branch of the `pjsip/pjproject` GitHub repository. There are currently no known workarounds.
    (CVE-2022-24764)

  - PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C. PJSIP versions 2.12 and     prior do not parse incoming RTCP feedback RPSI (Reference Picture Selection Indication) packet, but any     app that directly uses pjmedia_rtcp_fb_parse_rpsi() will be affected. A patch is available in the `master`     branch of the `pjsip/pjproject` GitHub repository. There are currently no known workarounds.
    (CVE-2022-24786)
