Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). The pa_rtp_recv function in modules/rtp/rtp.c in the module-rtp-recv module in PulseAudio 5.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and abort) via an empty UDP packet.
