HighMetricsAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Live555 versions 1.08 and earlier
Description
The issue arises from mishandling huge requests for the same MP3 stream, leading to recursion and a stack-based buffer over-read. An attacker can leverage this to launch a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.
Recommendations
For versions 1.08 and earlier, update to a version that fixes the handling of huge requests for the same MP3 stream to prevent recursion and stack-based buffer over-read.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
