high Nessus Plugin ID 16064

Language:

Synopsis

The remote streaming audio server is vulnerable to a format string attack.

Description

According to its banner, the version of SHOUTcast Server installed on the remote host is earlier than 1.9.5. Such versions fail to validate requests containing format string specifiers before using them in a call to 'sprintf()'. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code on the remote host.

Solution

Upgrade to SHOUTcast 1.9.5 or later.
