Summary

SIPp 3.6 and earlier has a local buffer overflow vulnerability in command-line argument handling. Attackers can supply oversized input to the -3pcc, -i, or -log_file parameters, causing strcpy to write beyond buffer boundaries in sipp.cpp, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.

Risk Assessment

A local attacker can crash the application or execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to privilege escalation or system instability.

Recommendation

Update SIPp to version 3.7 or later, which includes the buffer overflow fix.
