CVE-2018-25356 Details
Description
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.
A local buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in SIPp versions through 3.6. This vulnerability arises from improper handling of command-line arguments, specifically the -3pcc, -i, and -log_file parameters. The issue allows local attackers to cause application crashes or execute arbitrary code by supplying oversized input, which is mishandled by the strcpy function, leading to memory corruption.
