AI Analysis
Technical Summary
An integer overflow or wraparound vulnerability exists in Cesanta Mongoose Web Server v7.14. An attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted TLS packet, triggering a segmentation fault in the application. This results in a denial of service condition. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and impact limited to availability.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability causes a segmentation fault leading to application crash, impacting availability of the web server. There is no indication of confidentiality or integrity compromise. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
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 the affected server to untrusted networks to reduce risk.
