CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade libmicrohttpd to version 0.9.32 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. Stack-based buffer overflow in the MHD_digest_auth_check function in libmicrohttpd before 0.9.32, when MHD_OPTION_CONNECTION_MEMORY_LIMIT is set to a large value, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long URI in an authentication header.
