Summary

librtmp in RTMPDump through 2.6 contains an out-of-bounds read and heap out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) because AMF3_Decode ignores AMF3 property decode failures. A malicious RTMP server or man-in-the-middle attacker can send oversized AMF3 string lengths, and when the token option is used, DecodeTEA corrupts heap memory and leaks heap bytes.
