CVE-2026-68005: n/a
An issue in ACME mini_httpd 1.30 and prior allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the HTTP request header parser in the handle_request() function
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-68005 describes a denial of service vulnerability in ACME mini_httpd versions 1.30 and prior. The flaw exists in the HTTP request header parser within the handle_request() function, which can be triggered remotely by an attacker. This causes the server to become unresponsive or crash. No CVSS score or detailed vendor advisory is available, and no patch or mitigation guidance has been published.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition on affected ACME mini_httpd servers by sending specially crafted HTTP requests that exploit the header parser. This can disrupt service availability but does not indicate code execution or data compromise based on the available information.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, consider limiting exposure of affected servers to untrusted networks or applying network-level protections to detect and block malformed HTTP requests targeting the header parser.
