Descriptions

EmbedThis GoAhead 3.0.0 through 3.4.1 does not properly handle path segments starting with a . (dot), which allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks, cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and crash), or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted URI.

EmbedThis GoAhead 3.0.0 hasta 3.4.1 no maneja correctamente los segmentos de rutas que comienzan con un . (punto), lo que permite a atacantes remotos realizar ataques de salto de directorio, causar una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica y caída), o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una URI manipulada.

GoAhead web server versions 3.0.0 through 3.4.1 suffers from heap overflow and directory traversal vulnerabilities.
