Summary
Signal RingRTC before 2.72.0 contains an improper check for unusual or exceptional conditions (CWE-754). A peer that saturates a call's FSM queue can prevent a local hangup from tearing down the call, including its audio and perhaps video tracks. A remote peer in the call needs no privileges to cause this.

Description from the CNA
In the RingRTC library before 2.72.0 for Signal, a peer that saturates a call's FSM queue can interfere with the ability of a local hangup to tear the call (with its audio and perhaps also video track) down.
