Title: SmallHTTP Server Long URL Denial of Service Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Small HTTP Server is a full service web server. This utility is less than 30Kb and requires minimal system resources.
All versions of SmallHTTP Server contain a denial of service vulnerability.
By submitting a URL to the webserver containing very long strings of arbitrary text (ie in excess of 8000 characters), the server will report "Error #5, File error."
If this process is repeated several times, the webserver will stop responding, and will have to be manually restarted.

- Max Feoktistov Small HTTP server 2.0.01
- Max Feoktistov Small HTTP server 2.0.03
