NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream icecast package and not the icecast package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.11 relevant fixed versions and status.

A buffer overflow was discovered in the URL-authentication backend of the Icecast before 2.4.4. If the backend is enabled, then any malicious HTTP client can send a request for that specific resource including a crafted header, leading to denial of service and potentially remote code execution.
