HTTP: EmbedThis GoAhead Web Server File Upload Denial of Service
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against EmbedThis GoAhead Web Server. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition.
Extended Description
A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the processing of multi-part/form-data requests in the base GoAhead web server application in versions v5.0.1, v.4.1.1 and v3.6.5.
