The htpasswd implementation of mini_httpd before v1.28 and of thttpd before v2.28 is affected by a buffer overflow that can be exploited remotely to perform code execution.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
