Background ========== Shoutcast Server is Nullsoft's streaming audio server. It runs on a variety of platforms, including Linux, and is extremely popular with Internet broadcasters. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-sound/shoutcast-server-bin <= 1.9.4-r1 >= 1.9.5 Description =========== Part of the Shoutcast Server Linux binary has been found to improperly handle sprintf() parsing. Impact ====== A malicious attacker could send a formatted URL request to the Shoutcast Server. This formatted URL would cause either the server process to crash, or the execution of arbitrary code. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Shoutcast Server users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/shoutcast-server-bin-1.9.5" References ========== [ 1 ] BugTraq Announcement http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/385350 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200501-04.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
