Recent enhancements to pjproject resolve critical vulnerabilities in Mageia 8, targeting man-in-the-middle exploits and denial-of-service risks.
Currently, PJSIP transport can be reused if they have the same IP address + port + protocol

Summary

Currently, PJSIP transport can be reused if they have the same IP address + port + protocol. However, this is insufficient for secure transport since it lacks remote hostname authentication. The vulnerability allows for an insecure interaction without user awareness. It affects users who need access to connections to different destinations that translate to the same address, and allows man-in-the-middle attack if attacker can route a connection to another destination such as in the case of DNS spoofing (CVE-2020-15260).
An issue has been found in pjproject. Due to bad handling of two consecutive crafted answers to an INVITE, the attacker is able to crash the server resulting in a denial of service (CVE-2021-21375).
