Summary: Flamingo XL, a new modular and high-density IPTV head-end
product for hospitality and corporate markets. Flamingo XL captures
live TV and radio content from satellite, cable, digital terrestrial
and analog sources before streaming it over IP networks to STBs, PCs
or other IP-connected devices. The Flamingo XL is based upon a modular
4U rack hardware platform that allows hospitality and corporate video
service providers to deliver a mix of channels from various sources
over internal IP networks.

Desc: The affected device suffers from authenticated remote code
execution vulnerability. A remote attacker can exploit this issue
and execute arbitrary system commands granting her system access
with root privileges.
