Additional information
CVE-2019-3568 is a buffer overflow vulnerability affecting the WhatsApp VOIP stack. It can be exploited by threat actors sending specially crafted SRTCP packets sent to targeted phone numbers [2]. When executed, the attack appears as a phone call to the WhatsApp number. The user does not need to answer the call for the attack to be successful.
The only available indicator of this attack, at this time, is missed calls from a Swedish phone number (+46). If the attack is successful, these call logs are deleted by the threat actor after infection.
