Summary

Details

CivetWeb (commit 4a4f0c95) contains a heap and stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the read_websocket() function that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to corrupt memory by sending compressed WebSocket frames when both USE_ZLIB and MG_EXPERIMENTAL_INTERFACES are defined. Attackers can negotiate permessage-deflate during the WebSocket handshake and send a crafted frame with the RSV1 bit set, causing the server to write a 4-byte zlib sync trailer out-of-bounds past the allocated buffer, leading to heap metadata corruption, denial of service, or potential code execution.
