CVE-2005-0608

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A heap-based buffer overflow in server.cpp of WebMod 0.47 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and potentially execute arbitrary code by sending a POST request with a Content-Length header smaller than the actual data sent.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can remotely crash the service or take control of the server, leading to data leakage and system integrity compromise.

Recommendation

Immediately update WebMod to the latest available version or apply a security patch. If updating is not possible, restrict server access to trusted networks only.
