      MDG Web Server 4D Buffer Overflow (GET)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://www.mdg.com/> Web Server 4D is a "full featured web server with
    an integrated database for publishing your databases on the web for MacOS
    or Windows NT". By sending an overly long GET request, it is possible for
    a remote attacker to cause a denial of service against product.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable systems:
     * MDG Web Server 4D version 3.6.0

    A buffer overflow vulnerability exists within MDG Web Server 4D. By doing
    a GET / with 4096 <'s will cause the web server to crash. Once the
    malicious payload has been sent, the web server will crash giving a
    runtime error. This vulnerability is remotely exploitable. Exploit is
    attached for your pleasure.

    Vendor response:
    Vendor was notified on 04/27/2003. The vendor did not give me a date for
    the updated version.

    Exploit:
    /* Web Server 4D 3.6.0 DoS
