Summary
A flaw in Kamailio 5.5 in the rve_is_constant function of src/core/rvalue.c causes a null pointer dereference. The attack requires local access and manipulation of configuration files. The vulnerability's existence is still questioned, and the vendor did not respond to the disclosure.
Risk Assessment
A local attacker could cause a denial of service by supplying a crafted configuration. The risk is limited as it requires local access and modification of configuration files.
Recommendation
Restrict local access to Kamailio servers and verify configuration file integrity. Monitor vendor communications for a patch.
Other vulnerabilities in Kamailio
See all- CVE-2026-106804High
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the ims_qos_npn module of Kamailio v6.1.3 and v6.1.4. The w_rx_aar_register() function copies the attacker-controlled host field from the SIP `Via` header into a fixed 46-byte stack buffer without validating its length. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger the vulnerability with a crafted SIP `REGISTER` request, causing stack corruption and termination of the affected Kamailio instance, resulting in denial of service.
- CVE-2026-106803Unknown
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the ims_registrar_pcscf module of Kamailio v6.1.3 and v6.1.4. When processing a crafted application/reginfo+xml NOTIFY message, process_contact() copies an attacker-controlled port value from the alias parameter into a fixed 5-byte stack buffer without validating its length. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger stack corruption and terminate the P-CSCF process, resulting in denial of service.
- CVE-2015-1590High
The kamcmd administrative utility and default configuration in kamailio before version 4.3.0 use the /tmp/kamailio_ctl directory.
- CVE-2015-1591High
Versions of kamailio before 4.2.0-2 have a vulnerability that allows local users to gain elevated privileges.
- CVE-2013-7426Critical
CVE-2013-7426 identifies an insecure handling of temporary files in kamailio 4.0.1, specifically concerning the /tmp/kamailio_fifo file. This may lead to unauthorized access to data.
- CVE-2026-108822Medium
A vulnerability was detected in Kamailio up to versions 6.0.7/6.1.3 in the isup_get_calling_party function of the file src/modules/sipt/ss7_parser.c in the sipt module. Manipulation of the length argument results in buffer overflow. The attack may be performed remotely.
- CVE-2026-93962High
A weakness in Kamailio up to 5.8.8/6.0.7/6.1.4/6.2.0-dev1 affects the shm_malloc function in src/modules/cdp/receiver.c of the CDP Diameter Receiver component. Manipulation leads to a heap-based buffer overflow. The attack can be remote, and the exploit is public. Upgrading to 6.0.8 resolves the issue.
- CVE-2026-52023High
An issue in kamailio v.6.1.1 and before allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the ims_registrar_pcscf module, specifically the pcscf_save_pending/save_pending path and security-agreement parsing in sec_agree.c:parse_sec_agree().
- CVE-2026-52022High
A vulnerability in Kamailio version 6.1.1 and earlier allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the IMS P-CSCF registration handling components.
- CVE-2026-82608High
A vulnerability in Kamailio up to 5.5.0/6.0.7 in the get_4bytes function of the cxdx_avp.c file in the AVP Handler component leads to an out-of-bounds read. The attack can be performed remotely, and the exploit is publicly disclosed.
Original NVD description (English source)
A flaw has been found in Kamailio 5.5. The impacted element is the function rve_is_constant of the file src/core/rvalue.c. This manipulation causes null pointer dereference. The attack needs to be launched locally. The exploit has been published and may be used. It is still unclear if this vulnerability genuinely exists. This attack requires manipulating config files which might not be a realistic scenario in many cases. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
