Oracle WebLogic Server Apache Connector Stack Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Oracle WebLogic Server Apache Connector is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial-of-service condition.
