Summary

Fix high severity security issue in rsr/rsr_main.c.

Vulnerability

Field Value
ID V-004
Severity HIGH
Scanner multi_agent_ai
Rule V-004
File rsr/rsr_main.c:463
Assessment Confirmed exploitable
CWE CWE-120

Description: The memcpy copies audio_buf of length alen into adts_buf at offset 7. If alen exceeds the allocated size of adts_buf minus 7 bytes, a heap buffer overflow occurs. A malicious streaming source sending oversized audio frames can trigger this overflow.

Evidence

Exploitation scenario: Send crafted SRT/RTSP audio stream with oversized audio frames where the frame length exceeds the expected maximum, causing heap overflow when assembling ADTS frames.

Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule V-004 flagged this pattern.

Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.

Changes

  • rsr/rsr_main.c

Verification

  • Build passes
  • Scanner re-scan confirms fix
  • LLM code review passed

Security Invariant
