Description
Small HTTP Server 2.03 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by repeatedly requesting a URL that references a directory that does not contain an index.html file, which consumes memory that is not released after the request is completed.
Public exploits
Exploit or proof-of-concept code for this vulnerability is publicly available, which lowers the bar for attackers. Treat it as a reason to patch sooner.
