liblivemedia provides an implementation of the server and client side of
RTSP. So, unless a CVE affects the code path used by the RTSP client (as
for example used by vlc), I won't spend any time on it.

Before you start cherry-picking the patches from experimental, I'd
suggest to get in contact with the release team to do a proper
transition to the new upstream version (maybe even to the 2019.03.xx
release that's not yet packaged). Those new release effectively only
consists of the fixes for the recent CVEs. (Yes, I know that the freeze
already started.)
