Pexip Infinity 35.0 through 38.1 before 39.0, in non-default configurations that use Direct Media for WebRTC, has Improper Input Validation in signalling that allows an attacker to trigger a software abort, resulting in a temporary denial of service.

Weakness

The product contains an assert() or similar statement that can be triggered by an attacker, which leads to an application exit or other behavior that is more severe than necessary.

Extended Description

While assertion is good for catching logic errors and reducing the chances of reaching more serious vulnerability conditions, it can still lead to a denial of service. For example, if a server handles multiple simultaneous connections, and an assert() occurs in one single connection that causes all other connections to be dropped, this is a reachable assertion that leads to a denial of service.
