Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|

Luigi Auriemma reported a possible buffer overflow in the |
40 |
MBHttp::Download function of lib/http.cpp as well as several possible |

Impact |
44 |
====== |
45 |
|
46 |
A remote attacker could be able to execute arbitrary code or cause |
47 |
Denial of Service by making use of an overly long "Location" header in |
48 |
an HTTP redirect message from a malicious server or a long URL in |
49 |
malicious RDF feeds. |
