Apple Darwin Streaming Server Multiple Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

Darwin Streaming Server is prone multiple remote buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code with superuser privileges. Successfully exploiting this issue will result in the complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.

These issues affect versions prior to 5.5.5.
