-= Netsnap Webcam Software Remote Overflow =-

Release date: Thursday, November 16, 2000

Introduction:

Netsnap is a webcam software package for Win95/98/NT/2k which in
addition to filming and picture taking allows the user to directly
publish his/her footage to the web. To do this, Netsnap is equiped with
its own HTTP-server.

Netsnap can be found on vendor Pelesoft's Netsnap site,
http://www.netsnap.com

Problem:

There's a problem in the handling of GET requests by named server. An
unchecked buffer here can be overflowed by a string of approximately 342
bytes, effectively crashing the server and allowing the execution of
arbitrary code.

(..)

Solution:

After discussing this issue with the vendor, Pelesoft have released
version 1.2.9 of their Netsnap software, which eliminates the problem.
Users are encouraged to obtain the new version asap.
