Debian Security Advisory DSA-089-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman
December 5, 2001

Package : icecast-server
Problem type : remote root exploit (and others)
Debian-specific: no
The icecast-server (a streaming music server) package as distributed
in Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 has several security problems:
* if a client added a / after the filename of a file to be downloaded
the server would crash
* by escaping dots as %2E it was possible to circumvent security measures
and download arbitrary files
* there were several buffer overflows that could be exploited to
gain root access
These have been fixed in version 1.3.10-1, and we strongly recommend
that you upgrade your icecast-server package immediately.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
