Apple iTunes before 8.1 on Windows allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a Digital Audio Access Protocol (DAAP) message with a crafted Content-Length header.

The version of Apple iTunes on the remote host is prior to version 8.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote attacker can cause a denial of service by     sending a maliciously crafted DAAP message. Note that     this vulnerability only affects iTunes running on a     Windows host. (CVE-2009-0016)

  - When subscribing to a podcast, an authentication dialog     may be presented to the user without clarifying the     origin of the authentication request. An attacker could     exploit this flaw in order to steal the user's iTunes     credentials. (CVE-2009-0143)

The version of Apple iTunes installed on the remote Windows host is older than 8.1. Such versions may be affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
  - It may be possible to cause a denial of service by     sending a maliciously crafted DAAP header to the     application. (CVE-2009-0016)

  - When subscribing to a podcast an authentication dialog     may be presented without clarifying the origin of the     authentication request. An attacker could exploit this     flaw in order to steal the user's iTunes credentials.
