1. DESCRIPTION ========================================================================================
The Pi3 Component architecture is a high performance server based suite of libraries to
enable rapid development of server software. One of the components available for this
architecture is Pi3Web. A buffer overflow vulnerability in the product allows remote
attackers to crash the server by issuing a malformed request.
2. DETAILS ========================================================================================
The problem lies in the Directory Index with "Name" as Hyperlink Column. If following
configuration is in use, allow this a remote attacker to crash the server by issuing
this malformed request:
http://host.com/</?SortName=A
The administrator of the server must use one of the following directory layouts:
General Layout -------------- [*] HTML index with tables
or
[*] HTML index with fixed font
or
[*] Generic HTML index
For this vulnerability must this two options set:
Columns ------- [*] Name - must be activated!
Sorting ------- [*] Column title as hyperlink - must be activated!
