    Published: 12 Jul 2022Last Modified: 10 Mar 2026

    Summary:

    Details: 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.
