Synopsis

A Denial of Service vulnerability has been reported in LIVE555 Media Server.

Background

LIVE555 Media Server is a set of libraries for multimedia streaming.

Description

Impact

A remote attacker could send a specially crafted RTSP query to the vulnerable server, resulting in a crash.

Workaround

Resolution

All LIVE555 Media Server users should upgrade to the latest version:
