CVE-2017-17663 is a remote buffer overflow in the htpasswd implementation of mini_httpd before 1.28 and thttpd before 2.28. The flaw affects the password-handling functionality in these lightweight HTTP server packages and can be triggered remotely, leading to memory corruption in the vulnerable process. Affected deployments are commonly found in embedded and SOHO devices that ship older ACME mini_httpd-derived components.
