VAR-200704-0461
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-10 23:11The Linksys SPA941 VoIP Phone allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reboot) via a 0377 (0xff) character in the From header, and possibly certain other locations, in a SIP INVITE request. Linksys SPA941 phones are prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. Linksys SPA941 is a 2-wire or 4-wire IP phone. The Linksys SPA941 phone does not correctly handle the \377 character in the SIP message. If the attacker contains the above character in any part of the FROM header of the sent message, it may cause the phone to restart; if the character is in other positions, it may modify the phone's Generate the content of the reply message.
Try a new way to discover vulnerabilities that ALREADY EXIST in your IT infrastructure.
Join the FREE BETA test of the Network Software Inspector (NSI)! http://secunia.com/network_software_inspector/
The NSI enables you to INSPECT, DISCOVER, and DOCUMENT vulnerabilities in more than 4,000 different Windows applications.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the processing of SIP messages. This can be exploited to reboot the phone by sending specially crafted SIP messages containing "\337" characters.
The vulnerability is reported in software version 5.1.5. Other versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION: Use only in a trusted network environment.

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
