Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities in the web server in the Multi-Threaded DAAP |
19 |
Daemon may lead to the remote execution of arbitrary code. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
Multi-Threaded DAAP Daemon (mt-daapd), also known as the Firefly Media |
25 |
Server, is a software to serve digital music to the Roku Soundbridge |
26 |
and Apple's iTunes. |
27 |
|
28 |
Affected packages |
29 |
================= |
30 |
|
31 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
32 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
33 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
34 |
1 media-sound/mt-daapd < 0.2.4.1 >= 0.2.4.1 |

|
36 |
Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|
39 |
nnp discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the XML-RPC handler in the |
40 |
file webserver.c. The ws_addarg() function contains a format string |
41 |
vulnerability, as it does not properly sanitize username and password |
42 |
data from the "Authorization: Basic" HTTP header line (CVE-2007-5825). |
43 |
The ws_decodepassword() and ws_getheaders() functions do not correctly |
44 |
handle empty Authorization header lines, or header lines without a ':' |
45 |
character, leading to NULL pointer dereferences (CVE-2007-5824). |
46 |
|
47 |
Impact |
48 |
====== |
49 |
|
50 |
A remote attacker could send specially crafted HTTP requests to the web |
51 |
server in the Multi-Threaded DAAP Daemon, possibly leading to the |
52 |
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the |
53 |
web server or a Denial of Service. |
54 |
|
55 |
Workaround |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
59 |
|
60 |
Resolution |
61 |
========== |
62 |
|
63 |
All Multi-Threaded DAAP Daemon users should upgrade to the latest |
64 |
version: |
65 |
|
66 |
# emerge --sync |
67 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/mt-daapd-0.2.4.1" |
