Title: Snowblind Web Server HTTP GET Request Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Snowblind Web Server is a freely available web server designed for use with the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Snowblind Web Server has been reported prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability. The vulnerability exists when the web server attempts to process HTTP requests of excessive length. Specifically, when the web server processes a malformed HTTP GET request consisting of more than 219 bytes, the web server will crash. This will result in a denial of service condition.
Although unconfirmed, this vulnerability may be exploited to execute attacker-supplied code with the privileges of the vulnerable web server.
This vulnerability was reported for Snowblind Web Server version 1.0. It is likely that other versions are also affected.
Affected Products:
- Snowblind Web Server 1.0.0
- Snowblind Web Server 1.1.0
