VAR-200303-0102
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 21:15Buffer overflow in the MP3 broadcasting module of Apple Darwin Streaming Administration Server 4.1.2 and QuickTime Streaming Server 4.1.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename. A vulnerability has been discovered in the Quicktime/Darwin MP3 Broadcaster. The problem occurs due to insufficient bounds checking on MP3 filenames. Processing an MP3 file with a name of excessive length may trigger the condition, effectively causing memory to be overwritten. This issue may be exploitable by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the user running the vulnerable application. By default, these services listen on port 1220/TCP with root user privileges. A remote or local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to serve malicious MP3 files and trigger a buffer overflow. When the MP3 broadcast module processes MP3 files with file names exceeding 256 bytes, buffer overflow may occur
