CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.3 cgit to version 0.11.2-r1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cgit package and not the cgit package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.3 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the authenticate_post function in CGit before 0.12 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a large value in the Content-Length HTTP header, which triggers a buffer overflow.
