===============
1) Introduction
===============


Icecast is an audio broadcast system that streams music in both MP3 and
Ogg Vorbis format.

2) Bug
======


The Icecast server accepts a maximum of 32 headers in the clients HTTP
request.

In some environments (like in Win32) a request with more than 31
headers causes the overwriting of the return address of the vulnerable
function with a pointer to the beginning of the 32th header.

In short, is possible to execute remote code simply using the normal
HTTP request plus 31 headers followed by a shellcode that will be
executed directly without the need of calling/jumping to registers or
addresses or using other annoying techniques.
