CVE-2021-41396: LIVE555

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 1.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.
