WebFS Long Pathname Buffer Overrun Vulnerability

It has been discovered that WebFS is prone to a buffer overrun vulnerability when handling path names of excessive length. As a result, an attacker may be capable of triggering the condition and overwriting sensitive memory with malicious data. This could ultimately allow for the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the WebFS HTTP server.

It should be noted that for this condition to occur, an attacker must have the ability to create directories on the affected system.
