CVE-2021-41396:
Live555 through 1.08 does not handle socket connections properly. A huge number of incoming socket connections in a short time invokes the error-handling module, in which a heap-based buffer overflow happens. An attacker can leverage this to launch a DoS attack.
CVE-2023-37117:
A heap-use-after-free vulnerability was found in live555 version 2023.05.10 while handling the SETUP.
CVE-2025-65404:
A buffer overflow in the getSideInfo2() function of Live555 Streaming Media v2018.09.02 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted MP3 stream.
CVE-2025-65405:
A use-after-free in the ADTSAudioFileSource::samplingFrequency() function of Live555 Streaming Media v2018.09.02 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted ADTS/AAC file.
CVE-2025-65406:
A heap overflow in the MatroskaFile::createRTPSinkForTrackNumber() function of Live555 Streaming Media v2018.09.02 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted MKV file.
CVE-2025-65407:
A use-after-free in the MPEG1or2Demux::newElementaryStream() function of Live555 Streaming Media v2018.09.02 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted MPEG Program stream.
CVE-2025-65408:
A NULL pointer dereference in the ADTSAudioFileServerMediaSubsession::createNewRTPSink() function of Live555 Streaming Media v2018.09.02 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted ADTS file.
