PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C. Prior to commit d6a0e7f, a buffer overflow can occur in pjsip_generic_array_hdr_print() in pjsip/src/pjsip/sip_msg.c, the function that serializes generic array headers (such as Allow, Require, Supported, and Unsupported). Under certain output-buffer boundary conditions the function can write one byte past the end of the buffer. This is reachable mainly in applications that parse and re-serialize incoming SIP requests — for example a proxy, SBC, or B2BUA — where a remote peer can influence the serialized message. The out-of-bounds write is a single fixed byte; code execution and information disclosure are not demonstrated, and in typical pool-based allocations the byte falls within allocation slack. This issue has been patched via commit d6a0e7f.
CVE-2026-57160
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.3 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.3%, top 76% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
