Synopsis
========

Shoutcast Server contains a possible buffer overflow that could lead to
the execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

Shoutcast Server is Nullsoft's streaming audio server. It runs on a
variety of platforms, including Linux, and is extremely popular with
Internet broadcasters.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-sound/shoutcast-server-bin <= 1.9.4-r1 >= 1.9.5

Description
===========

Part of the Shoutcast Server Linux binary has been found to improperly
handle sprintf() parsing.

Impact
======

A malicious attacker could send a formatted URL request to the
Shoutcast Server. This formatted URL would cause either the server
process to crash, or the execution of arbitrary code.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Shoutcast Server users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
">=media-sound/shoutcast-server-bin-1.9.5"
