Summary
generated automatically from NVD dataOvenMediaEngine through 0.21.0 has a denial of service flaw in OvtPacket::LoadHeader(), classified as CWE-770 (allocation of resources without limits). An unauthenticated attacker can send crafted OVT packets with payload_length values above 32750 to the OVT listener, which stalls connections, keeps them open indefinitely, and accumulates buffered memory. This disrupts origin-to-edge stream relay, and the issue is rated 7.5 (HIGH) under CVSS v3.1.
