Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.891588
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1588-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'icecast2' package(s) announced via the DLA-1588-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'icecast2' package(s) announced via the DLA-1588-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A buffer overflow was discovered in the URL-authentication backend of the icecast2, the popular open source streaming media server. If the backend is enabled, then any malicious HTTP client can send a request for specific resource including a crafted header which can overwrite the server's stack contents, leading to denial of service and potentially remote code execution.

For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.0-1.1+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your icecast2 packages.
