- --[ Product / Vendor
Web Server 4 Everyone is an Internet and Intranet server that supports HTTP Services.
Web Server 4 Everyone is available for Microsoft Windows operating systems.
http://www.freeware.lt/Info/projects.php
- --[ Summary
The problem is Web Server 4 Everyone v1.28 with bounds checking, when you request 2000
characters "web4all.exe" just shuts down. This vulnerability also affects Web Server 4
Everyone versions prior to v1.28 for Microsoft Windows 2000.
When the attacker send a request in size of 2000 characters in "Host:" field that contains
all "127.0.0.1", the server crashes. In case you send a request that size without adding
the "Host:" there is no effect on running program. The Web server must be restarted to
regain normal functionality.
