A buffer overflow vulnerability in PeerCast may allow for the remote execution of arbitrary code.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| media-sound/peercast | * | < 0.1218-r1 | >= 0.1218-r1 |
PeerCast is a client and server for P2P-radio networks.
Nico Golde reported a boundary error in the HTTP::getAuthUserPass() function when processing overly long HTTP Basic authentication requests.
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable server, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All PeerCast users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/peercast-0.1218-r1"
A buffer overflow vulnerability has been discovered in PeerCast.

Luigi Auriemma reported a heap-based buffer overflow within the "handshakeHTTP()" function when processing HTTP requests.
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request to the vulnerable server, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the PeerCast server, usually "nobody".
There is no known workaround at this time.

PeerCast is vulnerable to a buffer overflow that may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| media-sound/peercast | * | < 0.1217 | >= 0.1217 |
PeerCast is a Peer to Peer broadcasting technology for listening to radio and watching video on the Internet.
INFIGO discovered a problem in the URL handling code. Buffers that are allocated on the stack can be overflowed inside of nextCGIarg() function.
By sending a specially crafted request to the HTTP server, a remote attacker can cause a stack overflow, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
There is no known workaround at this time.

PeerCast suffers from a format string vulnerability that could allow arbitrary code execution.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| media-sound/peercast | * | < 0.1212 | >= 0.1212 |
PeerCast is a media streaming system based on P2P technology.
James Bercegay of the GulfTech Security Research Team discovered that PeerCast insecurely implements formatted printing when receiving a request with a malformed URL.
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a request with a specially crafted URL to a PeerCast server to execute arbitrary code.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All PeerCast users should upgrade to the latest available version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/peercast-0.1212"
