VULHUB ™

A buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported in Pserv. The buffer overflow condition is due to the way Pserv handles data streams from remote connections. Reportedly, Pserv reads 1024 bytes at a time from a connected socket but fails to allocate sufficient space in local buffers for the data. Due to this, it may be possible to corrupt sensitive memory on the system stack. This may cause the web server to exhibit signs of unpredictable behaviour. Although it has not been confirmed, it may be possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
