Vulnerability

    Personal Web sharing

Affected

    Personal Web sharing v1.5.5, probably earlier.

Description

    Jass Seljamaa  found following.   Personal Web  Sharing extension,
    which ships with MacOS 9, can\'t handle a request longer than 6000
    characters.   A request,  which contains  6000 or  more characters
    seems to stop the file sharing, probably to avoid a system freeze.
    Web sharing can easily be started up again in seconds.

    Exploit:

        http://fileserver/?aaaaaaaaa... [approx. 6000 characters]

Solution

    It was the glob hole and it is now fixed.
