Aleksandar Nikolic discovered a stack based buffer overflow when handling chunked encoding. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
