Title: WSMP3 Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
Severity: HIGH
Description:
WSMP3 is a freely available server that allows users to stream MP3 files.
Several buffer overflow conditions have been reported for WSMP3. The vulnerability is due to improper bounds checking when copying data to local buffers. The vulnerabilties exist in the web_server.c file.
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending an overly long request, consisting of at least 1024 characters, to the vulnerable server. This will trigger the buffer overflow condition, resulting in memory corruption. Ovewriting sensitive memory with malicious values may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
This vulnerability has been reported for WSMP3 0.0.2 and earlier.
Affected Products:
- WSMP3 WSMP3 0.0.1
