Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions thttpd versions 2.21 through 2.23b1

Description A buffer overflow issue exists in the defang function within libhttpd.c, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This occurs when requests containing '<' or '>' characters are processed, triggering the overflow as these characters are expanded into "<" and ">" sequences.
