OpenSIPS crashes when a malformed SDP body is received and is processed by the delete_sdp_line function in the sipmsgops module. This issue can be reproduced by calling the function with an SDP body that does not terminate by a line feed (i.e. \n).
The vulnerability was found while performing black-box fuzzing against an OpenSIPS server running a configuration that made use of the functions codec_delete_except_re and codec_delete_re. The same issue was also discovered while performing coverage guided fuzzing on the function codec_delete_except_re. The crash happens because the function delete_sdp_line expects that
an SDP line is terminated by a line feed (\n):

Impact

By abusing this vulnerability, an attacker is able to crash the server. It affects configurations containing functions that rely on the affected code, such as the function codec_delete_except_re.

Due to the sanity check that is performed in the del_lump function, exploitation of this issue will generate an abort in the lumps processing function, resulting in a Denial of Service.

Patches

This issue has been fixed by commit c6ab3bb.
