Moderately critical

Security Bypass

From remote

DESCRIPTION:
James has reported a security issue in GNUMP3d, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to the improper enforcing of
password-based authentication and can be exploited to gain access to
the streaming server without a valid username and password.

The security issue is reported in versions prior to 3.0.

SOLUTION:
Do not rely on the password protection. The vendor has removed the
password protection option in version 3.0.
