Hi, I encounter segfaults in LIVE555 Streaming Media on stream start after building with Debian's gcc 6.3.0-18.
The issue occurs in RTSPCommon.cpp: parseRangeParam(...): delete[] absStartTime; delete[] absEndTime; Trouble is that both to-be-deleted variables are invalid. When tracing back, I see RTSPClient.cpp: handlePLAYResponse(...) being called with an argument MediaSession& session pointing to Null. This is expected to be caught in the following line if (&session != NULL) { but GDB shows the program skipping into the true-branch right after this check. The reason for this behavior is that in C++ a reference is expected to be initialized on a valid object only. So gcc's optimizer removes the always-true conditional leading to the mentioned segfault. I found the following patch by Hugo Beauzée-Luyssen in the videolan repo that fixes this bug for me. It applies to the most recent source code packet "live.2017.10.28.tar.gz". http://git.videolan.org/gitweb.cgi/vlc.git/?p=vlc.git;a=blob_plain;f=contrib/src/live555/no-null-reference.patch;h=a1dea30fbc5e7b13e3616c190f9b626e97d2e156;hb=HEAD Source is here. http://git.videolan.org/gitweb.cgi/vlc.git/?p=vlc.git;a=tree;f=contrib/src/live555 Best Regards, --Marco Porsch _______________________________________________ live-devel mailing list live-devel@lists.live555.com http://lists.live555.com/mailman/listinfo/live-devel
