2) Bug
======
The handshakeHTTP function which handles all the requests received by
the other clients is vulnerable to a heap overflow which allows an
attacker to fill the loginPassword and loginMount buffers located in
the Servent class with how much data he wants.
From servhs.cpp:
void Servent::handshakeHTTP(HTTP &http, bool isHTTP)
{
char *in = http.cmdLine;
...
}else if (http.isRequest("SOURCE"))
{
if (!isAllowed(ALLOW_BROADCAST))
...
mount = in+strlen(in);
while (*--mount)
if (*mount == '/')
{
mount[-1] = 0; // password preceeds
break;
}
strcpy(loginPassword,in+7);
..
if (mount)
strcpy(loginMount,mount);
...
ALLOW_BROADCAST ("allowBroadcast" in peercast.ini) is enabled by
default.
