Description
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in HTTPDX HTTP server 1.4. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "h_handlepeer()" function in http.cpp. By sending an overly long HTTP request, an attacker can overrun a buffer and execute arbitrary code.
