Buffer Overflow in the URI parser of CivetWeb 1.14 through 1.16 (latest) allows a remote attacker to achieve remote code execution via a crafted HTTP request. This vulnerability is triggered during request processing and may allow an attacker to corrupt heap memory, potentially leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
