Debian Bug : 459961 476241
Three vulnerabilities have been discovered in the mt-daapd DAAP audio
server (also known as the Firefly Media Server). The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following three
problems:
CVE-2007-5824
Insufficient validation and bounds checking of the Authorization:
HTTP header enables a heap buffer overflow, potentially enabling
the execution of arbitrary code.
CVE-2007-5825
Format string vulnerabilities in debug logging within the
authentication of XML-RPC requests could enable the execution of
arbitrary code.
CVE-2008-1771
An integer overflow weakness in the handling of HTTP POST
variables could allow a heap buffer overflow and potentially
arbitrary code execution.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.2.4+r1376-1.1+etch1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.9~r1696-1.3.
