Official Description

PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C language implementing standard based protocols such as SIP, SDP, RTP, STUN, TURN, and ICE. In versions up to and including 2.11.1 when in a dialog set (or forking) scenario, a hash key shared by multiple UAC dialogs can potentially be prematurely freed when one of the dialogs is destroyed . The issue may cause a dialog set to be registered in the hash table multiple times (with different hash keys) leading to undefined behavior such as dialog list collision which eventually leading to endless loop. A patch is available in commit db3235953baa56d2fb0e276ca510fefca751643f which will be included in the next release. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

Attack Vector Analysis — CITED Relevance

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by initiating multiple dialogs in a dialog set or forking scenario, causing a hash key to be freed prematurely. This could lead to memory corruption, which might be leveraged to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.
