CVE-2006-4197

CVSS v2.0

7.5

High

VectorAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: libmusicbrainz versions prior to 2.1.4
Description: The issue affects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. It can be exploited remotely, potentially leading to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. This is achieved through buffer overflows, specifically by sending a long Location header via an HTTP server, which triggers an overflow in the MBHttp::Download function, or by using a long URL in RDF data, which can cause overflows in multiple functions.
Recommendations: For versions prior to 2.1.4, update to version 2.1.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the MBHttp::Download function and limiting the use of long URLs in RDF data to minimize the risk of exploitation.
