A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the HTTP Server functionality of Weston Embedded uC-HTTP git commit 80d4004. A specially crafted network packet can lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker can send a malicious packet to trigger this vulnerability.
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.
