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.
