Discussion
xserver HTTP Post Request Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
The 'xserver' program is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to adequately bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer.
Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.
This issue affects xserver 0.1 alpha; other versions may also be affected.
