CVE-2006-1148

75
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-1148 describes multiple stack-based buffer overflows in PeerCast before version 0.1217, specifically within the procConnectArgs function. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted HTTP GET request containing an overly long parameter name or value in the URL. 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 complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed on CISA's KEV catalog, multiple Metasploit modules and ExploitDB entries confirm the existence of public exploit code, indicating a high likelihood of exploitation. Despite this, there is no significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
