Discussion
Mereo 'GET' Request Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Mereo is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.
An attacker 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 condition.
Mereo 1.9.2 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
