CVE-2006-0051: Buffer Overflow
First published: Wed Apr 05 2006(Updated: )
Buffer overflow in playlistimport.cpp in Kaffeine Player 0.4.2 through 0.7.1 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via long HTTP request headers when Kaffeine is "fetching remote playlists", which triggers the overflow in the http_peek function.
