SHOUTcast 1.8.9 remote bufferoverflow

[1] Description

Nullsoft's SHOUTcast 1.8.9 contains a bufferoverflow that is remotely
exploitable. This allows a malicious DJ to gain unauthorized shell
access to the system.

The attacker must know the DJ password in order to exploit this
vulnerability. This will limit the impact of the bug, however
if for example the shoutcast server is running as root, a DJ 
can obtain root privileges.

An attacker is able to overwrite stackdata, including the saved eip 
register by sending the following data to port 8001:

password\n
icy-name: netric
icy-[doesn't matter]: [buffer]

The icy-name buffer can be overflowed too, but this buffer is not
stored on the stack.
