Summary

In FreeSWITCH before 1.11.2, ws_read_frame() unmasked WebSocket payloads by iterating over wsh->datalen including frame headers, potentially writing beyond the 64 KiB receive buffer. The flaw is reachable before authentication when mod_xml_rpc and its opt-in WebSocket endpoint are enabled.

Risk Assessment

Memory corruption within the connection handle may cause service instability; the features are disabled in the stock configuration.

Recommendation

Update FreeSWITCH to 1.11.2 or later and keep mod_xml_rpc and the WebSocket endpoint disabled unless required.

Original NVD description (English source)

FreeSWITCH is a Software Defined Telecom Stack enabling the digital transformation from proprietary telecom switches to a software implementation that runs on any commodity hardware. Prior to 1.11.2, ws_read_frame() unmasked a WebSocket payload by iterating wsh->datalen, which included frame headers, while indexing from the payload pointer. A masked frame filling the 64 KiB receive buffer could therefore XOR up to 14 bytes beyond the buffer, and the exact-capacity case also wrote a terminating NUL one byte out of bounds. The flaw is reachable before authentication when mod_xml_rpc and its opt-in WebSocket endpoint are enabled, while both features are disabled in the stock configuration. The writes remain within the same connection handle's adjacent outbound buffer, so neither a process crash nor cross-session disclosure has been demonstrated. This issue is fixed in version 1.11.2.
