VAR-201001-0064

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-10 23:13

Cherokee Web Server 0.5.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via an MS-DOS reserved word in a URI, as demonstrated by the AUX reserved word. Cherokee Web Server is a flexible, fast, lightweight web server. An attacker could exploit this issue to crash the affected application, denying service to legitimate users. Cherokee Web Server 0.5.4 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected NOTE: This BID is being retired because the vulnerability is caused by a problem in Microsoft Windows when handling DOS-style device names; it is not specific to this application
