Thanks to the wide distribution of the Linphone software under its open-source license (GPLv3), numerous security researchers are inspecting its source code and searching for potential vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n

Our engineering team is closely listening to and working with these volunteers, who usually contact us through our dedicated email address\u00a0vulnerabilities@linphone.org<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to submit their security advisories.
\nSoftware fixes are then timely released by our team in the current stable and development branches of Linphone or Linphone-sdk, making our software more robust.
\nSome months later, the vulnerability is published as CVE report (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures)[https:\/\/cve.mitre.org<\/a><\/span>], following a common practice in software industry.<\/p>\n

Note that the actual exploit of a vulnerability highly depends on the configuration the software is being used with.
\nTypically, a Linphone-based client restricted by configuration to only connect to a single SIP service through TLS\u00a0has reasonable security enforcements, and as such\u00a0is less likely\u00a0to be exposed to vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n

Should a critical vulnerability be discovered by external researchers or by ourselves, our potentially impacted customers will be contacted shortly to be advised of a software update.
\nIn all cases, if you feel concerned with a CVE published for linphone or one of its dependencies, feel free to consult us through our support service, so that we can make a realistic evaluation of the security risks.<\/p>\n

Every product based on linphone libraries (Linphone-sdk) should stay up to date with our last official release as close as possible, to benefit from the last improvements, bug fixes and security fixes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"actualites-category":[42],"class_list":["post-13514","actualites","type-actualites","status-publish","hentry","actualites-category-tech"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nOpen-source is making software more robust -
