VULHUB ™

A buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported for fnord. The vulnerability exists in the httpd.c source file and is due to insufficient bounds checking when performing CGI operations. Reportedly, a buffer is allocated a space in memory that is too small. A determined attacker is able to exploit this vulnerability by making an overly long CGI request to the web server. This will trigger the buffer overflow condition and may cause the web server to behave erratically.
