CVE-2009-2281 describes multiple heap-based buffer underflows in the readPostBody function of MapServer versions 4.x through 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.4.2. This vulnerability, stemming from an integer overflow, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Content-Length HTTP header or a large HTTP request. With a CVSS score of 10.0, it is critically severe, requiring no authentication and having a low attack complexity, leading to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its high severity and EPSS score, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
