Date: Aug 25 2004

Impact:
Disclosure of authentication information, Disclosure of user information, Execution of arbitrary code via network, Modification of user information

Description:
An input validation vulnerability was reported in icecast in the internal web server. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Debian reported that Markus Worle discovered that the status display (list.cgi) does not properly filter HTML code from the user-supplied HTTP UserAgent header. A remote user can submit a specially crafted request so that when a target user views the status display, arbitrary scripting code will be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the site running the icecast software and will run in the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
The flaw resides in 'src/http.c'.

Solution:
Debian has released a fix for the stable distribution (woody) in version 1.3.11-4.2 and for the unstable distribution (sid) in version 1.3.12-8.

Package : icecast-server
Vulnerability : missing escape
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2004-0781
Markus Wörle discovered a cross site scripting problem in
status-display (list.cgi) of the icecast internal webserver, an MPEG
layer III streaming server. The UserAgent variable is not properly
html_escaped so that an attacker could cause the client to execute
arbitrary Java script commands.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.3.11-4.2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.3.12-8.
We recommend that you upgrade your icecast-server package.
