NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream liblivemedia package and not the liblivemedia package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
