Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-19 03:12:41 UTC 
Secunia:

Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in PeerCast, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or potentially to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "handshakeHTTP()" function. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted "SOURCE" HTTP request.
