+ Multi-Threaded DAAP Daemon (mt-daapd), also known as the Firefly Media
+ 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>
