Description

A buffer overflow exists in Streamcast 0.9.75. The HTTP server fails to check the 'User-Agent' parameter in GET requests resulting in an off-by-one overflow, and a separate stack overflow. With a specially crafted request, a remote attacker can cause remote code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
