CVE-2006-4197 Information

Description

Multiple buffer overflows in libmusicbrainz (aka mb_client or MusicBrainz Client Library) 2.1.2 and earlier and SVN 8406 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via (1) a long Location header by the HTTP server which triggers an overflow in the MBHttp::Download function in lib/http.cpp; and (2) a long URL in RDF data as demonstrated by a URL in an rdf:resource field in an RDF XML document which triggers overflows in many functions in lib/rdfparse.c.
