Description

This module exploits a vulnerability in Simple Web Server 2.2 rc2. A remote user
can send a long string data in the Connection Header to causes an overflow on the
stack when function vsprintf() is used, and gain arbitrary code execution. The
module has been tested successfully on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows XP SP3.
