A vulnerability discovered in Icecast streaming media server could be leveraged by an attacker to kill the broadcast of online radio stations that rely on it to reach their audience.

The flaw is sufficient to trigger a segmentation fault in the server process - an access violation condition that leads to a crash. A theoretical risk exists for remote code execution. An attacker could achieve this with sufficiently long, specially crafted HTTP headers.
