CVE-2020-29019 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability affecting FortiWeb versions 6.3.0 through 6.3.7 and versions prior to 6.2.4. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted cookie header, leading to a denial of service by crashing the httpd daemon. Rated Medium severity (CVSS 5.3), this vulnerability has a low attack complexity and requires no user interaction, but its impact is limited to availability. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or inclusion in CISA's KEV catalog, despite some community discussion and media coverage.
