CVE-2018-4013
An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the HTTP packet-parsing functionality of the LIVE555 RTSP server library version 0.92.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (9.67%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the HTTP packet-parsing functionality of the LIVE555 RTSP server library version 0.92. A specially crafted packet can cause a stack-based buffer overflow, resulting in code execution. An attacker can send a packet to trigger this vulnerability.
