Use After Free (UAF) vulnerability in ireader media-server before commit 3e0f63f1d3553f75c7d4eb32fa7c7a1976a9ff84 in librtmp, allows attackers to cause a denial of service.

Weakness

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
