  - OpenSIPS is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server implementation. Prior to versions 3.1.9 and 3.2.6,
    if `ds_is_in_list()` is used with an invalid IP address string (`NULL` is illegal input), OpenSIPS will
    attempt to print a string from a random address (stack garbage), which could lead to a crash. All users of
    `ds_is_in_list()` without the `$si` variable as 1st parameter could be affected by this vulnerability to a
    larger, lesser or no extent at all, depending if the data passed to the function is a valid IPv4 or IPv6
    address string or not. Fixes will are available starting with the 3.1.9 and 3.2.6 minor releases. There
    are no known workarounds. (CVE-2023-28099)
