Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in Icecast, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the parsing of HTTP headers. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by supplying more than 31 headers in a HTTP request.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
