Title: PeleSoft NetSnap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

NetSnap is a webcam application which transmits images and enables a user to directly publish footage to the web. NetSnap is shipped with an http server.

Due to an unchecked buffer in the handling of GET requests, NetSnap is subject to a buffer overflow attack. Requesting a GET command comprised of 342 bytes will cause a buffer overflow and allow the execution of arbitrary code.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a complete compromise of the host.

Affected Products:

  • PeleSoft NetSnap 1.2.0
