CVE-2003-1262
Buffer overflow in the http_fetch function of HTTP Fetcher 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a URL request via a long (1) host, (2) referer, or (3) userAgent value.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (4.03%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
