Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Icecast up to 2.4.1. This affects an unknown functionality of the file admin/killsource of the component stream_auth Handler. The manipulation of the argument mount with the input value /test.ogg leads to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-476. A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

Icecast before 2.4.2, when a stream_auth handler is defined for URL authentication, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via a request without login credentials, as demonstrated by a request to "admin/killsource?mount=/test.ogg."

The weakness was presented 04/29/2015 (Website). The advisory is shared at trac.xiph.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2015-3026 since 04/08/2015.
