CVE-2021-41396
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.5)—
Live555 versiones hasta 1.08, no maneja apropiadamente las conexiones de socket. Un gran número de conexiones de socket entrantes en poco tiempo invoca el módulo de administración de errores, en el que se produce un desbordamiento de búfer en la región heap de la memoria. Un atacante puede aprovechar esto para lanzar un ataque DoS
