Sights 'n Sounds Streaming Media Server Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA17998

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/17998/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Sights 'n Sounds Streaming Media Server 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/6454/

DESCRIPTION:
dr_insane has discovered a vulnerability in Sights 'n Sounds
Streaming Media Server, which can be exploited by malicious users to
cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially to compromise a
vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in "sws.exe" when
handling the parameter that is passed to "/MediaServerListing.exe".
This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an
overly long parameter.

Example:
http://[host]/MediaServerList.exe?[long parameter]

Successful exploitation crashes the service and can potentially allow
arbitrary code execution.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.0.3.b. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Filter potentially malicious requests in a HTTP proxy.

Grant access to trusted users only.
