    <p>

    Server, is a software to serve digital music to the Roku Soundbridge
    and Apple's iTunes.

  <description>
    <p>
    nnp discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the XML-RPC handler in the
    file webserver.c. The ws_addarg() function contains a format string
    vulnerability, as it does not properly sanitize username and password
    data from the "Authorization: Basic" HTTP header line (CVE-2007-5825).
    The ws_decodepassword() and ws_getheaders() functions do not correctly
    handle empty Authorization header lines, or header lines without a ':'
    character, leading to NULL pointer dereferences (CVE-2007-5824).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could send specially crafted HTTP requests to the web
    server in the Multi-Threaded DAAP Daemon, possibly leading to the
    execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
    web server or a Denial of Service.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Multi-Threaded DAAP Daemon users should upgrade to the latest
    version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-sound/mt-daapd-0.2.4.1"</code>
  </resolution>
