  - 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 version 2.10 and earlier, 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. Suppose we have created a TLS
    connection to `sip.foo.com`, which has an IP address `100.1.1.1`. If we want to create a TLS connection to
    another hostname, say `sip.bar.com`, which has the same IP address, then it will reuse that existing
    connection, even though `100.1.1.1` does not have certificate to authenticate as `sip.bar.com`. 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.
