KarjaSoft Sami HTTP Server 1.0.4 - GET Buffer Overflow

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9679/info

A vulnerability has been reported for Sami HTTP server. The problem occurs due to insufficient bounds checking when handling GET requests.

As a result, an attacker may be capable of corrupting sensitive data such as a return address, and thereby effectively control the execution flow of the program. This would ultimately allow for the execution of arbitrary code. Immediate consequences of exploitation of this issue may result in denial of service.
