The Post_Method function in Monkey HTTP Daemon before 0.6.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a POST request without a Content-Type header.

CVE-2004-0276

The get_real_string function in Monkey HTTP Daemon (monkeyd) 0.8.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an HTTP request with a sequence of "%" characters and a missing Host field.

CVE-2005-1122

Format string vulnerability in cgi.c for Monkey daemon (monkeyd) before 0.9.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an HTTP GET request containing double-encoded format string specifiers (aka "double expansion error").

CVE-2005-1123

Monkey daemon (monkeyd) before 0.9.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a request for a zero byte file.

CVE-2012-4442

Monkey HTTP Daemon 0.9.3 retains the supplementary group IDs of the root account during operations with a non-root effective UID, which might allow local users to bypass intended file-read restrictions by leveraging a race condition in a file-permission check.

CVE-2012-4443

Monkey HTTP Daemon 0.9.3 uses a real UID of root and a real GID of root during execution of CGI scripts, which might allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging cgi-bin write access.

CVE-2012-5303

Monkey HTTP Daemon 0.9.3 might allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a PID file, as demonstrated by a pathname different from the default /var/run/monkey.pid pathname.

CVE-2013-1771

The web server Monkeyd produces a world-readable log (/var/log/monkeyd/master.log) on gentoo.

CVE-2013-2159

Monkey HTTP Daemon: broken user name authentication

CVE-2013-2163

Monkey HTTP Daemon (monkeyd) before 1.2.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via an offset equal to the file size in the Range HTTP header.

CVE-2013-2181

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Directory Listing plugin in Monkey HTTP Daemon (monkeyd) 1.2.2 allows attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a file name.

CVE-2013-2182

The Mandril security plugin in Monkey HTTP Daemon (monkeyd) before 1.5.0 allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions via a crafted URI, as demonstrated by an encoded forward slash.

CVE-2013-2183

Monkey HTTP Daemon has local security bypass

CVE-2013-3724

The mk_request_header_process function in mk_request.c in Monkey 1.1.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (thread crash and service outage) via a '\0' character in an HTTP request.

CVE-2013-3843

Stack-based buffer overflow in the mk_request_header_process function in mk_request.c in Monkey HTTP Daemon (monkeyd) before 1.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP header.

CVE-2014-5336

Monkey HTTP Server before 1.5.3, when the File Descriptor Table (FDT) is enabled and custom error messages are set, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file descriptor consumption) via an HTTP request that triggers an error message.
