- Published: 2018-02-15 · Updated: 2024-08-05

## Affected

- n/a 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH CODESYS Web Server: 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH CODESYS Web Server

## Description

A Stack-based Buffer Overflow issue was discovered in 3S-Smart CODESYS Web Server. Specifically: all Microsoft Windows (also WinCE) based CODESYS web servers running stand-alone Version 2.3, or as part of the CODESYS runtime system running prior to Version V1.1.9.19. A crafted request may cause a buffer overflow and could therefore execute arbitrary code on the web server or lead to a denial-of-service condition due to a crash in the web server.
