CVE-2019-6256

A Denial of Service issue was discovered in the LIVE555 Streaming Media libraries as used in Live555 Media Server 0.93. It can cause an RTSPServer crash in handleHTTPCmd_TunnelingPOST, when RTSP-over-HTTP tunneling is supported, via x-sessioncookie HTTP headers in a GET request and a POST request within the same TCP session. This occurs because of a call to an incorrect virtual function pointer in the readSocket function in GroupsockHelper.cpp.

This update fixes two security issues in live555:

• CVE-2018-4013: Remote code execution vulnerability (bsc#1114779)
• CVE-2019-6256: Denial of Service issue with RTSP-over-HTTP tunneling via x-sessioncookie HTTP headers (boo#1121892)

This library is statically linked into VLC. However VLC is not affected because it only uses the live555 library to implement the RTSP client.

These are all security issues fixed in the libBasicUsageEnvironment1-2021.08.23-1.2 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.
