Title: KarjaSoft Sami HTTP Server GET Request Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
KarjaSoft Sami HTTP server is a web server available for the Windows operating system.
A vulnerability has been reported for Sami HTTP server. The problem occurs due to insufficient bounds checking when handling GET requests. Specifically, making a GET request including approximately 4096 bytes of data will effectively overrun the bounds of the internal memory buffer used to store this request.
As a result, an attacker may be capable of corrupting sensitive data such as a return address, and thereby effectively control the execution flow of the program. This would ultimately allow for the execution of arbitrary code. Immediate consequences of exploitation of this issue may result in denial of service.
This vulnerability is said to affect Sami HTTP Server version 1.0.4 , however, earlier versions may also be affected.
Affected Products:
- KarjaSoft Sami HTTP Server 1.0.4
