Alonso Fernández · Cherokee Web Server · CVE-2009-4587
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Cherokee Web Server version 0.5.4
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in the daemon crashing. This can be achieved by including an MS-DOS reserved word in a URI. For example, using the AUX reserved word can demonstrate this issue.
**Recommendations**
For Cherokee Web Server version 0.5.4, consider restricting access to the server to prevent remote attackers from exploiting this issue until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using MS-DOS reserved words in URIs to minimize the risk of daemon crashes.
