Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Monkey HTTP Daemon versions prior to 1.2.1

Description The issue is a stack-based buffer overflow in the mk request header process function, located in mk request.c. This allows remote attackers to potentially cause a denial of service, resulting in a crash, and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP header.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.2.1, update to version 1.2.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the mk request header process function until a patch is available.
