=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
The SHOUTcast server is vulnerable to a file disclosure when the server
receives a specially crafted GET request. Furthermore it also fails to
sanitize the input passed to the "Description", "URL", "Genre", "AIM",
and "ICQ" fields.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
By sending a specially crafted GET request to the SHOUTcast server, the
attacker can read any file that can be read by the SHOUTcast process.
=46urthermore it is possible that various request variables could also be
exploited to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of a victim's
browser.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All SHOUTcast server users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
#=20
emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dmedia-sound/shoutcast-server-bin-1.9.=
7"
