Crafted web server requests may cause a heap-based buffer overflow and could therefore trigger a denial-of- service condition due to a crash in the CODESYS V2 web server prior to V1.1.9.22.
Solution:
A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
