Unauthenticated code execution via improper HTTP parsing
Published Nov 1, 2024 · Updated May 21, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in Ricoh Web Image Monitor allows remote attackers to execute code or cause denial of service via crafted HTTP requests. The embedded web server improperly parses attacker-controlled HTTP requests, overflowing a stack buffer during request handling. The attack requires no authentication or user interaction but has high complexity; the denial of service is not characterized as a hang, crash, or reboot.
