TITLE:
Streamripper Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA32562

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/32562/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Streamripper 1.x
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/11691/

DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered some vulnerabilities in Streamripper,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's
system.

1) A boundary error exists within the function
"http_parse_sc_header()" in lib/http.c when parsing an overly long
HTTP header starting with "Zwitterion v".

2) A boundary error exists within the function "http_get_pls()" in
lib/http.c when parsing a specially crafted pls playlist containing
an overly long entry.

3) A boundary error exists within the function "http_get_m3u()" in
lib/http.c when parsing a specially crafted m3u playlist containing
an overly long "File" entry.

Successful exploitation allows the execution of arbitrary code, but
requires that a user is tricked into connecting to a malicious
server.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.63.5. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Patches should be available soon.
