Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Firefly Media Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS or to potentially compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a calculation error within the "ws_getpostvars()" function in src/webserver.c. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a POST request containing a negative "Content-Length" value.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 0.2.4.2.
