Arbitrary code execution via oversized SIP header formatting
Published Sep 12, 2026 · Updated Sep 12, 2026
Stack buffer overflows in Irontec sngrep 1.8.4 and earlier allow remote attackers to crash the process or execute code via crafted SIP packets. The SIP attribute-formatting path copies oversized Call-ID, X-Call-ID, and other header values into fixed 255-byte stack buffers without enforcing destination bounds. Exploitation requires the packet to reach an active capture or be opened from a PCAP; a successful attempt interrupts monitoring or runs code in the sngrep process.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
