Upstream Bug: https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/icecast-server/issues/2342

https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/icecast-server/blob/release-2.4.4/ChangeLog

## Fixes

-   Fix buffer overflows in URL auth code, [CVE-2018-18820]. [#2342]
    * This security issue affects all Icecast servers running version
      2.4.0, 2.4.1, 2.4.2 or 2.4.3 if there is a "mount" definition
      that enables URL authentication.
    * A malicious client could send long HTTP headers, leading to
      a buffer overflow and potential remote code execution.
    * The problematic code was introduced in version 2.4.0 and
      was now brought to our attention by Nick Rolfe of
      Semmle Security Research Team https://lgtm.com/security
-   Worked around buffer overflows in URL auth's cURL interface.
    * We currently do not believe that this issue is exploitable.
      It would require a malicious URL authentication back end server
      to send a crafted payload and make it through libcURL.
    * If someone manages, please let us know.
-   Do not report hashed user passworts in user list.
    There is no practical reason to show this to the administrator
    and it improves security.
-   Fixed segfault in htpasswd auth if no filename is set
-   Fixed a segfault when xsltApplyStylesheet() returns error
-   Do not segfault on malformed Opus streams
-   Global listener count could be negative under certain circumstances.
    Thanks a lot to Simeon Völkel (0xBD4E031CDB4043C9) for reporting
    and investigating the bug.
-   Added code to announce Opus streams as such towards yp servers.
