Sthttpd · Thttpd · CVE-2017-10671
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
sthttpd versions prior to 2.27.1
**Description**
The issue is related to a Heap-based Buffer Overflow in the de dotdot function in libhttpd.c, which can be exploited by remote attackers using a crafted filename. This can cause a denial of service, resulting in the daemon crashing, or possibly have other unspecified impacts.

For versions prior to 2.27.1, update to version 2.27.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the de dotdot function in libhttpd.c to minimize the risk of exploitation.
