CVE-2015-1548 is an information disclosure vulnerability in mini_httpd 1.21 and earlier. A remote attacker can send an HTTP request containing an excessively long protocol string, triggering an incorrect response size calculation that causes an out-of-bounds read from process memory. The flaw affects request parsing and response generation logic in mini_httpd, allowing memory beyond the intended buffer boundary to be included in the server response.
