Detail
| Stack-based buffer overflow in the HTTP::getAuthUserPass function (core/common/http.cpp) in Peercast 0.1218 and gnome-peercast allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a Basic Authentication string with a long (1) username or (2) password. |

| Title: | DSA-1583 gnome-peercast -- buffer overflow | ||
| Description: | Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in GNOME PeerCast, the GNOME interface to PeerCast, a P2P audio and video streaming server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: Luigi Auriemma discovered that PeerCast is vulnerable to a heap overflow in the HTTP server code, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long SOURCE request. Nico Golde discovered that PeerCast, a P2P audio and video streaming server, is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the HTTP Basic Authentication code, allowing a remote attacker to crash PeerCast or execute arbitrary code. | ||
