Discussion

Icecast Server HTTP Header Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

It is reported that the Icecast server is susceptible to a buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly enforce boundary conditions when dealing with user-supplied input data.

This vulnerability allows for remote code execution in the context of the Icecast server.

It is reported that this vulnerability is only exploitable to execute remote code on Microsoft Windows platforms. This buffer overflow affects all platforms, however it is only exploitable if a sensitive address is located adjacent to the affected buffer. On other platforms, denial of service or code execution may be possible, but this has not been confirmed.

Verions 2.x up to 2.0.1 are reported vulnerable to this issue.
