CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT

PACKAGE : icecast
SUMMARY : Remote buffer overflow vulnerabilities
DATE : 2001-03-19 11:15:00
ID : CLA-2001:387
RELEVANT
RELEASES : 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
"icecast" is a server used to distribute audio streams to compatible
clients such as winamp, mpg123, xmms and many others.
Matt Messier ([email protected]) and John Viega ([email protected])
have identified several buffer overflow and format strings problems
in Icecast that could be remotely exploited.
Our latest update to this software changes the package to use an
unprivileged user ("icecast") for the daemon, so the impact of this
vulnerability is not as high. Recent distributions (CL >= 5.1) have
this package compiled with StackGuard to make it more difficult to
exploit buffer overflows.
SOLUTION
All icecast users are urged to upgrade.
