Debian DSA-089-2 : icecast-server - remote root exploit (and others)
critical Nessus Plugin ID 14926
Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.Description
The icecast-server (a streaming music server) package as distributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 has several security problems :- if a client added a / after the filename of a file to be downloaded the server would crash
- by escaping dots as %2E it was possible to circumvent security measures and download arbitrary files
- there were several buffer overflows that could be exploited to gain root access
These have been fixed in version 1.3.10-1, and we strongly recommend that you upgrade your icecast-server package immediately.
The i386 package mentioned in the DSA-089-1 advisory was incorrectly compiled and will not run on Debian GNU/Linux potato machines. This has been corrected in version 1.3.10-1.1.
Solution
Upgrade the affected icecast-server package.See Also
