No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

SIPp 3.6 and earlier contains a local buffer overflow vulnerability in command-line argument handling that allows local attackers to crash the application or execute arbitrary code. Attackers can trigger the vulnerability by supplying oversized input to the -3pcc, -i, or -log_file parameters, causing strcpy to write beyond buffer boundaries in sipp.cpp.
