Description:
Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in WebCam Live and PhotoHost, allowing malicious people to cause a Denial of Service.
The integrated web server fails to handle certain HTTP requests with either a negative or extremely large value in the "Content-Length" header. This causes the server to crash after 300 such requests.
The vulnerability has been reported in the following versions:
* WebCam Live 2.01 and prior.
* Photohost 4.0 and prior.
Solution:
Use another product, or use a proxy or firewall with filtering capabilities to block invalid requests.
