Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in SHOUTcast Server, which can be exploited by malicious, authenticated users to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to boundary errors when handling input supplied to "icy-name" and "icy-url". These can be exploited to cause buffer overflows by logging in and supplying overly long, specially crafted strings (about 300 characters).
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the service.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.9.2 for Windows. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Grant only trusted users access to SHOUTcast Server.
