COMMAND Kazaa crash with downloading of ad banners SYSTEMS AFFECTED Kazaa Media Desktop v2, Tested on Kazaa Media Desktop 2.0.2 PROBLEM Marc Ruef [marc.ruef@computec.ch] reports : --snip-- If you can inject a malicous response for the automated ad download of the client, you can cause a bufferoverflow and the denial of service. It may be possible to run arbitary code with this vulnerability. The easiest way to reproduce this behavior is deny all http connections to hosts named *ad*. For example activate the "Block Sites" feature of the NetGear FM114P and block the keyword "ad". After this change, every time you start the vulnerable Kazaa client, the software crashes with the typical windows error message during connection establishment. --snap-- SOLUTION ?
