Solution

Description

Jana Server contains a buffer overflow in the HTTP server. If an extremely long HTTP request is received, the server will crash when attempting to log the request.

Classification

Attack Type: Input Manipulation

Technical

Sending an invalid GET request with a extremely long HTTP version field could crash Jana Server or allow an attacker to run arbitrary code on the system.

Attack Example:

GET /jana_server_are_you_there? HTTP/[Really long version that contains exploitable code].0\r\n\r\n

Solution

There have been no official patches released to correct this issue. As a work around, administrators may wish to disable HTTP logging. This may, however, allow other attacks or errors to go undetected.
