Icecast XSL Parser Multiple Vulnerabilities |

Checks for XSL parser vulnerabilities in Icecast Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote media streaming server is affected by multiple issues. Description : The remote host is running a version of Icecast that suffers from two flaws in its XSL parser. - A Locally-Exploitable Buffer Overflow Vulnerability The XSL parser does not check the size of XSL 'when', 'if', and 'value-of' tag values before copying them into a finite buffer in process memory. A possible hacker may potentially be able to exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code if he can have a specially-crafted XSL file placed in an Icecast folder. - An Information Disclosure Vulnerability The XSL parser fails to parse XSL files when the request ends with a dot ('.') and instead simply returns the contents. A possible hacker can exploit this to uncover sensitive information contained in XSL files.
