The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202210-37 (PJSIP: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - 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 PJSIP before version 2.11.1, there     are a couple of issues found in the SSL socket. First, a race condition between callback and destroy, due     to the accepted socket having no group lock. Second, the SSL socket parent/listener may get destroyed     during handshake. Both issues were reported to happen intermittently in heavy load TLS connections. They     cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service. These are fixed in version 2.11.1. (CVE-2021-32686)

  - 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)

  - PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in the C language implementing     standard based protocols such as SIP, SDP, RTP, STUN, TURN, and ICE. In various parts of PJSIP, when     error/failure occurs, it is found that the function returns without releasing the currently held locks.
    This could result in a system deadlock, which cause a denial of service for the users. No release has yet     been made which contains the linked fix commit. All versions up to an including 2.11.1 are affected. Users     may need to manually apply the patch. (CVE-2021-41141)

  - 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     RTCP BYE message contains a reason's length, this declared length is not checked against the actual     received packet size, potentially resulting in an out-of-bound read access. This issue affects all users     that use PJMEDIA and RTCP. A malicious actor can send a RTCP BYE message with an invalid reason length.
    Users are advised to upgrade as soon as possible. There are no known workarounds. (CVE-2021-43804)

  - PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library. In version 2.11.1 and prior, if incoming     RTCP XR message contain block, the data field is not checked against the received packet size, potentially     resulting in an out-of-bound read access. This affects all users that use PJMEDIA and RTCP XR. A malicious     actor can send a RTCP XR message with an invalid packet size. (CVE-2021-43845)

  - 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 version 2.11.1 and prior, there     are various cases where it is possible that certain incoming RTP/RTCP packets can potentially cause out-     of-bound read access. This issue affects all users that use PJMEDIA and accept incoming RTP/RTCP. A patch     is available as a commit in the `master` branch. There are no known workarounds. (CVE-2022-21722)

  - 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 versions 2.11.1 and prior, parsing     an incoming SIP message that contains a malformed multipart can potentially cause out-of-bound read     access. This issue affects all PJSIP users that accept SIP multipart. The patch is available as commit in     the `master` branch. There are no known workarounds. (CVE-2022-21723)

  - 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 versions up to and including     2.11.1 when in a dialog set (or forking) scenario, a hash key shared by multiple UAC dialogs can     potentially be prematurely freed when one of the dialogs is destroyed . The issue may cause a dialog set     to be registered in the hash table multiple times (with different hash keys) leading to undefined behavior     such as dialog list collision which eventually leading to endless loop. A patch is available in commit     db3235953baa56d2fb0e276ca510fefca751643f which will be included in the next release. There are no known     workarounds for this issue. (CVE-2022-23608)

  - PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C language. In versions prior     to and including 2.12 PJSIP there is a stack-buffer overflow vulnerability which only impacts PJSIP users     who accept hashed digest credentials (credentials with data_type `PJSIP_CRED_DATA_DIGEST`). This issue has     been patched in the master branch of the PJSIP repository and will be included with the next release.
    Users unable to upgrade need to check that the hashed digest data length must be equal to     `PJSIP_MD5STRLEN` before passing to PJSIP. (CVE-2022-24754)

  - PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in the C language. Versions 2.12     and prior contain a denial-of-service vulnerability that affects PJSIP users that consume PJSIP's XML     parsing in their apps. Users are advised to update. There are no known workarounds. (CVE-2022-24763)

  - PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C. 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)

  - PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C. A denial-of-service     vulnerability affects applications on a 32-bit systems that use PJSIP versions 2.12 and prior to play/read     invalid WAV files. The vulnerability occurs when reading WAV file data chunks with length greater than     31-bit integers. The vulnerability does not affect 64-bit apps and should not affect apps that only plays     trusted WAV files. A patch is available on the `master` branch of the `pjsip/project` GitHub repository.
    As a workaround, apps can reject a WAV file received from an unknown source or validate the file first.
    (CVE-2022-24792)

  - PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C. A buffer overflow     vulnerability in versions 2.12 and prior affects applications that uses PJSIP DNS resolution. It doesn't     affect PJSIP users who utilize an external resolver. A patch is available in the `master` branch of the     `pjsip/pjproject` GitHub repository. A workaround is to disable DNS resolution in PJSIP config (by setting     `nameserver_count` to zero) or use an external resolver instead. (CVE-2022-24793)

  - 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 versions prior to and including     2.12.1 a stack buffer overflow vulnerability affects PJSIP users that use STUN in their applications,     either by: setting a STUN server in their account/media config in PJSUA/PJSUA2 level, or directly using     `pjlib-util/stun_simple` API. A patch is available in commit 450baca which should be included in the next     release. There are no known workarounds for this issue. (CVE-2022-31031)
