Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This is related to #1283218 on Utopic and probably Trusty too

Apparently this is a known bug with red5 1.0. red5 1.0.6 allegedly fixes it, so this package requires an update. Current development version is 1.0.8, last stable 1.0.7.
