Soulseek Distributed File Search Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Soulseek is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempt will result in a denial-of-service condition.

Soulseek 156 and 157 NS are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
