MiniWeb HTTP Server Buffer Overflow and Directory Traversal Issues
Description
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in MiniWeb HTTP Server, which could be exploited by remote attackers to disclose sensitive information, cause a denial of service or compromise a vulnerable web server.
The first issue is caused by an input validation error in the "mwGetLocalFileName()" [http.c] function when processing requests containing encoded directory and file names, which could be exploited to conduct directory traversal attacks and gain unauthorized read access to arbitrary files.
The second vulnerability is caused by a buffer overflow error in the "_mwProcessReadSocket()" [http.c] function when processing overly long requests, which could be exploited by remote attackers to crash an affected server or execute arbitrary code.
