Discussion

Streamripper HTTP Header Parsing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Streamripper is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input data before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

An attacker may cause malicious code to execute by forcing the application to parse malformed HTTP headers, with the privileges of the user running the application.
