Title: PMSoftware Simple Web Server Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
PMSoftware Simple Web Server is a freely available Web server application for the Microsoft Windows platform.
A remote buffer overflow vulnerability affects PMSoftware Simple Web Server. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly validate the length of user-supplied strings prior to copying them into static process buffers.
The problem presents itself when excessively long page or script names are sent through GET requests to the affected server.
An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user that activated the vulnerable application. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation.
