    descriptionThe icecast-server (a streaming music server) package as distributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 has several security problems : - if a client added a / after the filename of a file to be downloaded the server would crash - by escaping dots as %2E it was possible to circumvent security measures and download arbitrary files - there were several buffer overflows that could be exploited to gain root access These have been fixed in version 1.3.10-1, and we strongly recommend that you upgrade your icecast-server package immediately. The i386 package mentioned in the DSA-089-1 advisory was incorrectly compiled and will not run on Debian GNU/Linux potato machines. This has been corrected in version 1.3.10-1.1.

    descriptionThe remote server runs a version of Icecast, an open source streaming audio server, which is version 1.3.10 or older. These versions are affected by a directory traversal flaw because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker could send a specially crafted URL to view arbitrary files on the system. *** Nessus reports this vulnerability using only *** information that was gathered.
