  - OpenSIPS is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server implementation. In versions prior to 3.6.6 and
    4.0.0-rc1, the TCP message framing layer parses the Content-Length header using unsigned int arithmetic
    with no overflow check. When an attacker sends a Content-Length value that overflows unsigned int (e.g.,
    4294967296), the framing layer computes a wrapped-around value (e.g., 0) and splits the TCP stream at the
    wrong boundary, causing the body of the first SIP message to be processed as a separate message and
    enabling SIP message smuggling. Because Content-Length is parsed in the transport layer before
    authentication, an unauthenticated, network-based attacker can smuggle arbitrary SIP messages over any
    TCP-based transport (proto_tcp, proto_tls, proto_ws, proto_wss) on any instance with TCP enabled, with no
    routing-script preconditions. This allows smuggled messages to bypass front-end SBC/proxy security
    policies, inherit the connection's authentication context, and evade rate limiting. This issue has been
    fixed in versions 3.6.6 and 4.0.0-rc1. (CVE-2026-45103)
