An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-38998 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-38998/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-38998/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-38998","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-38998/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-38998","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-38998","GHSA-f8rc-m549-vxmc","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-38998","openSUSE-SU-2026:11753-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"LIVE555 Streaming Media","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause a Denial of Service in LIVE555 Streaming Media by sending crafted RTSP and HTTP requests due to a use-after-free vulnerability.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"A use-after-free in the SocketDescriptor::tcpReadHandler1 function (liveMedia/RTPInterface.cpp) of LIVE555 Streaming Media (version 2026.02.26) allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via sending a series of crafted RTSP and HTTP requests to the server.","ecosystems":["openSUSE:Tumbleweed"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2026-38998","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2026-38999"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Tumbleweed","fixed":["2026.08.25-1.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"live555","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/live555\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Tumbleweed","source":"openSUSE-SU-2026:11753-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cockpit is vulnerable to directory traversal","id":"CVE-2026-38993"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2026-09-09","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"openSUSE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-14","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause a Denial of Service in LIVE555 Streaming Media by sending crafted RTSP and HTTP requests due to a use-after-free vulnerability.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-38998/"}
