Related CVEs CVE-2023-27585


PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C. A buffer overflow vulnerability affects applications that use PJSIP DNS resolver. It doesn’t affect PJSIP users who do not utilise PJSIP DNS resolver. This vulnerability is related to CVE-2022-24793. The difference is that this issue is in parsing the query record parse_query(), while the issue in CVE-2022-24793 is in parse_rr(). A workaround is to disable DNS resolution in PJSIP config (by setting nameserver_count to zero) or use an external resolver implementation instead.



For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2.5.5~dfsg-6+deb9u9.

We recommend that you upgrade your pjproject packages.
