Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the procConnectArgs function in servmgr.cpp in PeerCast before 0.1217 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an HTTP GET request with a long (1) parameter name or (2) value in a URL, which triggers the overflow in the nextCGIarg function in servhs.cpp.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
