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 |
| 35 |
|
| 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" |
| 68 |
