Details

CivetWeb (commit 4a4f0c95) contains a heap and stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the readwebsocket() function that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to corrupt memory by sending compressed WebSocket frames when both USEZLIB and MGEXPERIMENTALINTERFACES 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.
