Description:
badpack3t has reported a vulnerability in BNBT, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the "Util_DecodeHTTPAuth()" function when processing "Authorization:" headers. This can be exploited to crash the application by sending a HTTP GET request containing a malformed string in the "Authorization:" header to a vulnerable system.
Beta 7.5 Release 2 and prior are reportedly affected.
