Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities has been identified in Darwin Streaming Server allowing malicious people to cause a Denial of Service or read sensitive information.
1) It is possible to cause a Denial of Service by requesting a DOS device name e.g. "GET /AUX" or "GET /../AUX". This only affects Microsoft Windows systems.
2) It is possible to cause a Denial of Service by requesting "/view_broadcast.cgi" via HTTP on port 1220/tcp. This only affects Microsoft Windows systems.
3) It is possible to see the source code of any file by requesting "/parse_xml.cgi?filename=some_file" via HTTP.
4) It is possible to see the source code of any script by appending "%2e" and "%20" to the script name when making a HTTP request.
5) It is possible to view any file outside the web root by using trivial directory traversal in HTTP requests, e.g. "GET /../qtusers".
6) It is possible for malicious people to set the admin password if the system is connected to the Internet before it is correctly configured. The problem is that the "Setup Assistant" is available to any users until the system has been configured. This only affects Mac OS X systems.
Solution:
All issues, except issue 3, has been fixed in version 4.1.3g.
http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/streaming/
A workaround for issue 3 could be to remove "parse_xml.cgi" until an update is available.
NOTE: This may impact functionality.
