Unauthenticated server crash via oversized HTTP requests
Published May 10, 2023 · Updated Jan 28, 2025
Buffer overflow in en3rgy WebcamServer 0.5.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to crash the server with repeated large HTTP requests. The WebcamServer.exe process fails to clean up memory while processing oversized POST request targets, eventually triggering an unhandled Structured Exception Handler. No authentication or user interaction is required; the demonstrated consequence is an application crash, with no code execution, privilege gain, or data disclosure reported.
