CVE-2005-0838

CVE-2005-0838 describes multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities within the XSL parser of IceCast 2.20. Attackers can trigger these flaws by providing excessively long values in xsl:when, xsl:if, or xsl:value-of tags, leading to a denial of service and potentially arbitrary code execution. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this vulnerability is considered highly severe due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and potential for partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or Metasploit/Nuclei modules, an ExploitDB entry exists, and the vulnerability has received minimal community or media attention.
