HIGH

HCC embedded InterNiche < 4.3 - Heap Buffer Overflow via HTTP POST Content-Length

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

An issue was discovered in HCC embedded InterNiche 4.0.1. A potential heap buffer overflow exists in the code that parses the HTTP POST request, due to an incorrect signed integer comparison. This vulnerability requires the attacker to send a malformed HTTP packet with a negative Content-Length, which bypasses the size checks and results in a large heap overflow in the wbs_multidata buffer copy.
