CVE-2007-6454

Luigi Auriemma discovered that PeerCast is vulnerable to a heap overflow in the HTTP server code, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long SOURCE request.

CVE-2008-2040

Nico Golde discovered that PeerCast, a P2P audio and video streaming server, is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the HTTP Basic Authentication code, allowing a remote attacker to crash PeerCast or execute arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 0.5.4-1.1etch0.

gnome-peercast has been removed from the unstable distribution (sid).

We recommend that you upgrade your gnome-peercast package.");
