    Web server vulnerability in Axis Network Cameras, Video Servers and 
    Network Digital Video Recorders.
    
    
    2. Description
    
    A potential stack buffer overflow has been found in the authentication 
    code of the modified version of Boa used in some of the embedded 
    Linux based Axis products, which may result in DoS attacks, or in a 
    potential system compromise. 
    
    Note: this vulnerability is not present in the official boa distribution
    available from <URL:http://www.boa.org/>.
