Description:
Sam Varshavchik has reported a vulnerability in W3C Libwww, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the "HTBoundary_put_block()" function when processing multipart MIME data. This may be exploited to cause an illegal memory access past the end of the input buffer via specially crafted multipart MIME data.
Successful exploitation can potentially cause an application that uses Libwww to crash.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 5.4.0. Other versions may also be affected.
