Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. Stack-based buffer overflow in the mk_request_header_process function in mk_request.c in Monkey HTTP Daemon (monkeyd) before 1.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP header.
