CVE-2008-4829

Status: ModifiedHigh (9.3)—

Multiple buffer overflows in lib/http.c in Streamripper 1.63.5 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a long "Zwitterion v" HTTP header, related to the http_parse_sc_header function; (2) a crafted pls playlist with a long entry, related to the http_get_pls function; or (3) a crafted m3u playlist with a long File entry, related to the http_get_m3u function.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
