Hi,

We found one heap-use-after-free bug in live.2023.05.10 while running in Ubuntu:20.04. This bug happens while calling the function `MatroskaFileParser::continueParsing`.

You can reproduce this bug as the README in the attachment as follows:
1. build the docker image:
    docker build . -t uaf
2. create the docker container:
    docker run -it -u root --privileged --name reproduce-uaf uaf bash
3. open two terminals:
    3.1 one run live555:
        cd /home/ubuntu/experiments/live/testProgs && ./testOnDemandRTSPServer
    3.2 another one to run the client to send requests:
        cd /home/ubuntu/experiments && aflnet-replay client-request1 RTSP 8554 30
        You can also try other client requests:
        cd /home/ubuntu/experiments && aflnet-replay client-request2 RTSP 8554 30


The following is the ASAN bug report:
