CVE-2007-5824
CVSS v2.0
7.1
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Firefly Media Server versions 0.2.4 and earlier
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a daemon crash. This can be achieved by sending a stats method action to the "/xml-rpc" API endpoint with either an empty
Authorization header line, which triggers a crash in the ws decodepassword() function, or a header line without a ':' character, which triggers a crash in the ws getheaders() function.Recommendations
For Firefly Media Server versions 0.2.4 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "/xml-rpc" API endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using empty or malformed
Authorization header lines in requests to this endpoint until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
