Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in PeerCast 0.1211/0.1212/0.1215/0.1217/Svn 344. It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is the function handshakehttp of the file servhs.cpp. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Heap-based buffer overflow in the handshakeHTTP function in servhs.cpp in PeerCast 0.1217 and earlier, and SVN 344 and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long SOURCE request.

The bug was discovered 12/17/2007. The weakness was presented 12/19/2007 by Luigi Auriemma (Website). The advisory is shared for download at securityfocus.com.
