Unauthenticated server crash via overlong request URI
Published Feb 12, 2026 · Updated Feb 12, 2026
Buffer overflow in webfsd 1.21 request handling allows remote attackers to crash the server with an overlong HTTP request URI. The request.c path-construction code indexes beyond the fixed-size filename stack buffer because it does not enforce a strict URI-length bound. No authentication or filesystem access is required; a single network request can abort the process and interrupt the web service.
