| Summary | Receiving exceedingly long URLs can cause a buffer overflow. |
|---|
| Description | Buffer overflow. The URL is decoded into a static buffer of length 2048 bytes. I'm not sure it's possible to receive a URL longer than 2048 bytes, as many protocols have message limits that are shorter than that. |

| Fix | A check to make sure the source string is shorter than 2048 bytes is performed. |
