Title: Icecast print_client() Format String Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Icecast is an open source streaming audio server.
Versions of icecast up to and including 1.3.8 beta2 exhibit a format string vulnerability in the print_client() function of utility.c.
An insecurely-structured call to fd_write() directly passes user supplied characters as part of the format string to a *printf function. As a result, a malicious user can cause the *printf function to overwrite memory at possibly arbitrary addresses. This type of vulnerability can be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the victim host.
Affected Products:
- Icecast Icecast 1.3.7
- Icecast Icecast 1.3.8 beta2
