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 · unedited
Sofia-SIP is an open-source Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) User-Agent library. Prior to version 1.13.8, an attacker can send a message with evil sdp to FreeSWITCH, which may cause a crash. This type of crash may be caused by a URL ending with `%`. Version 1.13.8 contains a patch for this issue.

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 analysis
How this class of weakness works · CWE-125

The code reads past the end (or before the start) of a buffer, returning memory that was never meant to be exposed. Attackers use it to leak secrets like keys or to defeat memory-protection defences. Remediation is validating indices and lengths before every read.

Recommended fix High confidence

sofia-sip >= 1.13.8

  1. Upgrade sofia-sip library to version 1.13.8 or later
  2. If using Debian 10.0, update the system packages to obtain the patched sofia-sip version
  3. For FreeSWITCH users, ensure the bundled sofia-sip is updated to version >= 1.13.8
  4. Verify the fix by testing SIP messages with URLs ending in '%' character
