Summary

Multiple buffer overflows in the XSL parser for IceCast 2.20 may allow attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long test value in an xsl:when tag, a long test value in an xsl:if tag, or a long select value in an xsl:value-of tag.

Risk Assessment

The risk for the organization includes the possibility of remote code execution by an attacker, which could lead to compromise of the IceCast server and impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability of services.
