# Security Advisory 2024-0004 (CVE-2024-44331)
<div class="vertical-table">
| | |
| ----------------- | --- |
| Summary | RTSP server: Potential Denial-of-Service (DoS) with specially crafted client requests |
| Date | 2024-10-29 18:00 |
| Affected Versions | GStreamer gst-rtsp-server >= 1.18.0, < 1.24.9 |
| IDs | GStreamer-SA-2024-0004<br/>CVE-2024-44331 |
</div>
## Details
A series of specially crafted client requests during streaming setup
(post client authentication, if any) can cause the RTSP server library
to abort, if it has been compiled with assertions enabled.
## Impact
It is possible for a malicious RTSP client to potentially trigger a crash/abort
of the RTSP server application, if it has been compiled with assertions enabled.
There is no risk of code execution or memory manipulation.
## Solution
The gst-rtsp-server 1.24.9 releases (and git main branch) addresses the issue.
People using older branches of GStreamer should apply the patch and recompile.
