CVE-2006-2023


Description:
Luigi Auriemma has reported two vulnerabilities in Fenice, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) A boundary error exists within the parsing of the RTSP URL received from a client. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow and may allow arbitrary code execution.

2) An input validation error exists within the handling of the Content-Length HTTP header received from a client. This can be exploited to cause out-of-bounds memory access, which crashes the server via an overly large Content-Length value.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.10 and in the CVS version dated 2005-07-26. Prior versions may also be affected.

Solution:
A patch will reportedly be released soon.

Restrict access to trusted users only.
