Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions LibHTTPD version 1.2

Description A buffer overflow issue exists in the httpdProcessRequest function, allowing remote attackers to potentially cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by sending a long HTTP POST request.

Recommendations For LibHTTPD version 1.2, consider restricting access to the httpdProcessRequest function until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, limiting the length of HTTP POST requests may help minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
