Easy File Sharing Web Server GET HTTP request vulnerability

Added: 08/11/2016

Background

Easy File Sharing Web Server is software that allows users to upload/download files to a server easily through a web browser, as well as providing a bulletin board system (forum).

Problem

Easy File Sharing Web Server is vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow condition as a result of not properly validating user-supplied input when handling a GET HTTP request. This allows a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code.

Resolution

Install a fixed version when one becomes available. Alternatively, find a different software product solution.
