Description

OmniHTTPd contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable server. The issue is due to the "imagemap.exe" program (installed by default) not sanitizing input. By passing overly long arguments to the program, the attacker can overflow a strcpy() call and execute remote code.
