Name: libmicrohttpd
CVEs: CVE-2023-27371
CVSSs: 5.9
Action Needed: update to >= 0.9.76

Summary: GNU libmicrohttpd before 0.9.76 allows remote DoS (Denial of Service) due to improper parsing of a multipart/form-data boundary in the postprocessor.c MHD_create_post_processor() method. This allows an attacker to remotely send a malicious HTTP POST packet that includes one or more '\0' bytes in a multipart/form-data boundary field, which - assuming a specific heap layout - will result in an out-of-bounds read and a crash in the find_boundary() function.

As libmicrohttpd is not in portage-stable-packages-list, we need to manually update it at least once.
Will soon start working on it.
