CVE-2022-24764
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedPJSIP 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.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysisA fixed-size buffer is filled without checking the length of the incoming data, so it overflows into neighbouring memory. This is the classic overflow attackers use to overwrite return addresses and hijack execution. The fix is strict length checks and safe, bounded string and memory functions.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedPJSIP master branch (post-commit 560a1346) or subsequent stable release
- 1. Identify all applications using PJSIP in your environment
- 2. Verify the current PJSIP version in use (check library files or dependency manifests)
- 3. If using PJSUA2 or calling pjmedia_sdp_print()/pjmedia_sdp_media_print(), the system is vulnerable
- 4. Obtain the fixed PJSIP version from the master branch or subsequent release
- 5. Rebuild and redeploy the application with the patched PJSIP library
- 6. Verify the fix by checking the commit 560a1346f87aabe126509bb24930106dea292b00 is included
- 7. Test the SDP handling functionality to ensure normal operation
