CVE-2019-15232
Live555 before 2019.08.16 has a Use-After-Free because GenericMediaServer::createNewClientSessionWithId can generate the same client session ID in succession, which is mishandled by the MPEG1or2 and Matroska file demultiplexors.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.73%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
