    Nico Golde reported an off-by-one error within the read_client()
    function in the webhttpd.c file, leading to a stack-based buffer
    overflow. Stefan Cornelius (Secunia Research) reported a boundary error
    within the same function, also leading to a stack-based buffer
    overflow. Both vulnerabilities require that the HTTP Control interface
    is enabled.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending an
    overly long or specially crafted request to a vulnerable Motion HTTP
    control interface, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary
    code with the privileges of the motion user.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
