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.
