Date Reported:

28 Dec 2007

Affected Packages:

peercast

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 457300.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2007-6454.

More information:

Luigi Auriemma discovered that PeerCast, a P2P audio and video streaming server, is vulnerable to a heap overflow in the HTTP server code, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long SOURCE request.

The old stable distribution (sarge) does not contain peercast.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.1217.toots.20060314-1etch0.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.1218+svn20071220+2.

We recommend that you upgrade your peercast packages.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (stable)
