    It was discovered that SRT did not authenticate certain encryption control messages. A remote attacker
    could possibly use this issue to downgrade an encrypted connection and inject arbitrary content or
    interrupt a media stream. (CVE-2026-55868)

    It was discovered that SRT did not properly validate certain control packets during connection setup and
    key refresh operations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause SRT to crash, resulting
    in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-55869)
