Package : gnome-peercast
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-6454 CVE-2008-2040
Debian Bug : 466539
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:
CVE-2007-6454
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.
CVE-2008-2040
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
execure arbitrary code.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.5.4-1.1etch0.
For the unstable distribution (sid), the first issue has been fixed in
0.5.4-1.2. The second issue will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your gnome-peercast package.
