## What is CVE-2019-7232?

CVE-2019-7232 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in n/a, published on 24 Jun 2019. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The ABB IDAL HTTP server is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when a long Host header is sent in a web request. The Host header value overflows a buffer and overwrites a Structured Exception Handler (SEH) address. An unauthenticated attacker can submit a Host header value of 2047 bytes or more to overflow the buffer and overwrite the SEH address, which can then be leveraged to execute attacker-controlled code on the server.

Weakness: CWE-787 (Out-of-bounds Write)

## Which versions are affected by CVE-2019-7232?

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2019-7232 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2019-7232 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in n/a, published on 24 Jun 2019. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-7232 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
