CVE-2017-16249 | BDVDB-2026-92702 Detail
Description#
The Debut embedded http server contains a remotely exploitable denial of service where a single malformed HTTP POST request can cause the server to hang until eventually replying (~300 seconds) with an HTTP 500 error.

An attacker can continuously send this malformed request to keep the device inaccessible to legitimate traffic.
