This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against a Shoutcast server. Attackers can submit a maliciously crafted request that contains an overly long icy-name or icy-url parameter, attempting to cause a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the server.
After authenticating, a malicious user can pose as a source and send specialy crafted icy-name and icy-url server commands to a SHOUTcast server alowing execution of arbitrary code.
