A heap buffer overflow exists in NicheStack in the code that parses the HTTP POST request due to an incorrect signed integer comparison

InterNiche TCP/IP stack

InterNiche (, 4.3), fixed in 4.3

An issue was discovered in HCC embedded InterNiche 4.0.1. A potential heap buffer overflow exists in the code that parses the HTTP POST request, due to an incorrect signed integer comparison. This vulnerability requires the attacker to send a malformed HTTP packet with a negative Content-Length, which bypasses the size checks and results in a large heap overflow in the wbs_multidata buffer copy.

No PoC is supplied for this issue

If not needed, disable the NicheStack HTTP server through the NicheStack CLI
