Recommendation: Plan a near-term fix — a public PoC already exists.
RabidHamster R4 v1.25 contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability due to unsafe use of sprintf() when logging malformed HTTP requests. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw by sending a specially crafted URI, resulting in arbitrary code execution under the context of the web server process.
