VULHUB ™

The NetChat web server implementation is affected by a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly validate the size of network-based user input when transferring it to process memory. This issue could be leveraged to manipulate process memory, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the security context of the affected process and resulting in a user level compromise.
