The generate_admin_password function in Cherokee before 1.2.99 uses time and PID values for seeding of a random number generator, which makes it easier for local users to determine admin passwords via a brute-force attack.

header.c in Cherokee before 0.99.32 writes data to a log file without sanitizing non-printable characters, which might allow remote attackers to modify a window's title, or possibly execute arbitrary commands or overwrite files, via an HTTP request containing an escape sequence for a terminal emulator.

Cherokee Web Server 0.5.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via an MS-DOS reserved word in a URI, as demonstrated by the AUX reserved word.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Cherokee Web Server 0.5.4 and earlier for Windows allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a /\.. (slash backslash dot dot) in the URL.

Buffer overflow in Hero Super Player 3000 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long filename in a .M3U file. NOTE: this might be related to CVE-2008-4504.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Mplayer.exe in Herosoft Inc. Hero DVD Player 3.0.8 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an M3u file with a "long entry." NOTE: the provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Cherokee HTTPD 0.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a malformed request that generates an HTTP 400 error, which is not properly handled when the error message is generated.

Format string vulnerability in the cherokee_logger_ncsa_write_string function in Cherokee 0.4.17 and earlier, when authenticating via auth_pam, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the URL.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Cherokee before 0.4.8 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the URL, which is not properly quoted in the resulting error page.

Format string vulnerability in the PRINT_ERROR function in common.c for Cherokee Web Server 0.4.16 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the -C command line argument. NOTE: it is not clear whether this issue could be exploited remotely, or if Cherokee is running at escalated privileges. Therefore it might not be a vulnerability.
