MediumMetricsAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
GoAhead versions prior to 5.0.1
Description
The issue arises from the mishandling of redirected HTTP requests that contain a large Host header. Specifically, the GoAhead WebsRedirect utilizes a static host buffer with a limited length, which can overflow. This overflow can cause the copy of the Host header to fail, resulting in an uninitialized buffer. Consequently, uninitialized data may be leaked in a response.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 5.0.1, update to version 5.0.1 or later to resolve the issue.
