Summary

Omnicron OmniHTTPd version 3.0a and earlier contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the handling of the Range header in HTTP GET requests. A remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code on the server.

An attacker can take over the web server, leading to compromise of data confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as well as potential lateral movement within the internal network.
