Summary

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the procConnectArgs function in servmgr.cpp in PeerCast before 0.1217 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an HTTP GET request with a long parameter name or value in a URL, which triggers the overflow in the nextCGIarg function in servhs.cpp.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of remote code execution on the PeerCast server, potentially leading to data theft, malware installation, or further attacks on the internal network.
