CVE-2026-59595: Android SipStack stack exhaustion via unbounded recursion

CVE-2026-59595 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-10

A vulnerability in Android's SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) stack allows remote attackers to crash devices or cause a denial of service by triggering uncontrolled recursive function calls. This affects Google Pixel devices and other Android phones that process incoming SIP messages, enabling an attacker to make devices unresponsive without any special permissions.

Technologies: Google Android. Vendors: Google.

Technical details

A stack exhaustion vulnerability exists in the DecodeHeaderComponent function of SipStack.cpp, caused by unbounded mutual recursion in header parsing. The flaw allows remote attackers to send specially crafted SIP packets that trigger recursive calls without proper depth limits, exhausting the stack and crashing the process. No authentication or user interaction is required for exploitation.
