In Live555 before 2019.02.27, malformed headers lead to invalid memory access in the parseAuthorizationHeader function.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4853-1 advisory.

  - 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. (CVE-2018-4013)

  - 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. (CVE-2019-6256)

  - liblivemedia in Live555 before 2019.02.03 mishandles the termination of an RTSP stream after RTP/RTCP-     over-RTSP has been set up, which could lead to a Use-After-Free error that causes the RTSP server to crash     (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact. (CVE-2019-7314)

  - In Live555 before 2019.02.27, malformed headers lead to invalid memory access in the     parseAuthorizationHeader function. (CVE-2019-9215)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

This update for live555 fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2019-9215: Malformed headers could have lead to     invalid memory access in the parseAuthorizationHeader     function. (boo#1127341)

  - CVE-2019-7314: Mishandled termination of an RTSP stream     after RTP/RTCP-over-RTSP has been set up could have lead     to a Use-After-Free error causing the RTSP server to     crash or possibly have unspecified other impact.
    (boo#1124159)

  - Update to version 2019.06.28, 

  - Convert to dynamic libraries (boo#1121995) :

  + Use make ilinux-with-shared-libraries: build the dynamic     libs instead of the static one.

  + Use make install instead of a manual file copy script:
    this also reveals that we missed quite a bit of code to     be installed before.

  + Split out shared library packages according the SLPP.

  - Use FAT LTO objects in order to provide proper static     library.

This update was imported from the openSUSE:Leap:15.1:Update update project.

Multiple security issues were discovered in liveMedia, a set of C++ libraries for multimedia streaming which could result in the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service when parsing a malformed RTSP stream.

It was discovered that liblivemedia, the LIVE555 RTSP server library, is vulnerable to an invalid memory access when processing the Authorization header field. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to possibly trigger code execution or denial of service (OOB access and application crash) via a crafted HTTP header.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 2014.01.13-1+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your liblivemedia packages.
