No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

In Start of AudioRtpPayloadEncoderNode.cpp, there is a possible out-of-bounds write due to improper input validation. This could lead to remote code execution with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation.
