Discussion

HTTrack URI Parsing Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

HTTrack is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform sufficient boundary checks when parsing long URIs.

Remote attackers can exploit this issue by enticing victims into crawling a malicious URI designed to exploit this issue.

Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code within the context of an affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial of service.

Versions prior to HTTrack 3.42-3 are vulnerable.
