Posted May 20, 2008
Authored by Debian | Site debian.org

Debian Security Advisory 1583-1 - Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in Gnome PeerCast, the Gnome interface to PeerCast, a P2P audio and video streaming server. Luigi Auriemma discovered that PeerCast 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. Nico Golde discovered that PeerCast, a P2P audio and video streaming server, is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the HTTP Basic Authentication code, allowing a remote attacker to crash PeerCast or execute arbitrary code.

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in Gnome PeerCast,

server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
following problems:

CVE-2007-6454
