Description Murray McAllister 2013-12-08 20:44:13 EST

An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in the MHD_http_unescape() function in libmicrohttpd. This could possibly lead to information disclosure or allow a remote attacker to cause an application using libmicrohttpd to crash. This issue has been resolved in version 0.9.32.
