webfs: buffer overflows, file and directory exposure
| Package(s): | webfs |
CVE #(s): | CAN-2003-0832
CAN-2003-0833
|
| Created: | September 29, 2003 |
Updated: | October 1, 2003 |
| Description: |
Jens Steube reported two vulnerabilities in webfs, a lightweight HTTP
server for static content.
CAN-2003-0832 - When virtual hosting is enabled, a remote client could
specify ".." as the hostname in a request, allowing retrieval of directory
listings or files above the document root.
CAN-2003-0833 - A long pathname could overflow a buffer allocated on
the stack, allowing execution of arbitrary code. In order to exploit this
vulnerability, it would be necessary to be able to create directories on
the server in a location which could be accessed by the web server. In
conjunction with CAN-2003-0832, this could be a world-writable directory
such as /var/tmp. |
