Debian DSA-3239-1 : icecast2 - security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 83145

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Juliane Holzt discovered that Icecast2, a streaming media server, could dereference a NULL pointer when URL authentication is configured and the stream_auth URL is trigged by a client without setting any credentials. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash).

Solution

Upgrade the icecast2 packages.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.0-1.1+deb8u1.
