Bug vulnerability classBuffer Overflow
Bug descriptionThe remote server runs a version of ICECast, an open source streaming audio server, which is older than version 1.3.12. This version is affected by a remote buffer overflow because it doesnot properly check bounds of data send from clients. As a result of this vulnerability, it is possible for a remote attacker to cause a stack overflow and then execute arbitrary code with the privilege of the server.
Bug solutionUpgrade the software to the latest version. The server should be deactivated or de-installed if not necessary. To make it harder to find the server the daemon could be configured to listen at another port (e.g. 8081). Try to prevent unwanted connection attempts by filtering traffic with firewalling. Alternation of the application banner can confuse an attacker and let him determine the wrong software.
