| Doc Text: |
A denial of service flaw has been discovered in CivetWeb. The mg_handle_form_request function allows attackers to trigger a denial of service (DoS) condition by sending a specially crafted HTTP POST request containing a null byte in the payload. The server enters an infinite loop during form data parsing as a result. Multiple malicious requests will result in complete CPU exhaustion and render the service unresponsive to further requests.
