An exploitable Buffer Overflow within the HTTP management interface has been identified. By sending large strings within several areas of the HTTP request (such as a large Host or Accept header) critical portions of memory are overwritten.

Verification of this vulnerability can be achieved through the use of a HTTP fuzzer, such as @stake webproxy. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to gain administrative control of the targeted host.

Vendor released patch and public notice.
