CVE-2013-3843
Stack-based buffer overflow in the mk_request_header_process function in mk_request.c in Monkey HTTP Daemon (monkeyd) before 1.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP header.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 20.2%, higher than 97% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
