Synopsis |
| 16 |
======== |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The SHOUTcast server is vulnerable to a file disclosure vulnerability |
| 19 |
and multiple XSS vulnerabilities. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Background |
| 22 |
========== |
| 23 |
|

| 25 |
|

Description |
| 35 |
=========== |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
The SHOUTcast server is vulnerable to a file disclosure when the server |
| 38 |
receives a specially crafted GET request. Furthermore it also fails to |
| 39 |
sanitize the input passed to the "Description", "URL", "Genre", "AIM", |
| 40 |
and "ICQ" fields. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Impact |
| 43 |
====== |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
By sending a specially crafted GET request to the SHOUTcast server, the |
| 46 |
attacker can read any file that can be read by the SHOUTcast process. |
| 47 |
Furthermore it is possible that various request variables could also be |
| 48 |
exploited to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of a victim's |
| 49 |
browser. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Workaround |
| 52 |
========== |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Resolution |
| 57 |
========== |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
All SHOUTcast server users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
# emerge --sync |
| 62 |
# |
| 63 |
emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/shoutcast-server-bin-1.9.7" |
| 64 |
