TITLE:
httpdx "h_handlepeer()" Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36991

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36991/

DESCRIPTION:
Pankaj Kohli has discovered a vulnerability in httpdx, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"h_handlepeer()" function in http.cpp. This can be exploited to cause
a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long HTTP request.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.4.3. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.4.4.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Pankaj Kohli
