Description:
A vulnerability in Xeneo Web Server can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) on the web service.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the handling of requests including a malformed URL encoding representation of a character. By sending a request like the following, "xeneo.exe" will crash with a runtime error.
Example:
http://[victim]/%A
The web service needs to be restarted manually before functionality is restored.
Solution:
The vendor quickly responded by releasing version 2.2.10:
