Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in IceCast 2.20. It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown part. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple buffer overflows in the XSL parser for IceCast 2.20 may allow attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) a long test value in an xsl:when tag, (2) a long test value in an xsl:if tag, or (3) a long select value in an xsl:value-of tag.

The bug was discovered 03/19/2005. The weakness was disclosed 05/02/2005 by Patrick (Website). The advisory is shared at securityfocus.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2005-0838 since 03/22/2005. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.

The exploit is shared for download at exploit-db.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 3 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 17592 (Icecast XSL Parser Multiple Vulnerabilities (OF, ID)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
