CVE-2026-39864Network attack vector

Authenticated process crash via out-of-bounds identity read

Published Apr 8, 2026 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Out-of-bounds read in Kamailio before 5.8.7 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.4 allows remote authenticated users to crash the SIP server. The auth module reads beyond a buffer while applying additional identity checks to a crafted SIP packet after RFC 2617 authentication without a database backend. Exploitation requires valid authentication and that specific backend-free authentication flow; the bounded impact is a process crash.
