Mongoose: 3 critical security vulnerabilities discovered

Are you using Mongoose in your embedded device? If so, you might want to read:

Vulnerabilities Discovered in Mongoose

if you don't know what Mongoose is, quoting from the first paragraph of the writeup:

If you’ve never heard of it, you’ve almost certainly used a device that runs it. It’s a single-file, cross-platform embedded network library written in C by Cesanta that provides HTTP/HTTPS, WebSocket, MQTT, mDNS and more, designed specifically for embedded systems and IoT devices where something like OpenSSL would be way too heavy. Their own website claims deployment on hundreds of millions of devices by companies like Siemens, Schneider Electric, Broadcom, Bosch, Google, Samsung, Qualcomm and Caterpillar. They even claim it runs on the International Space Station. We’re talking everything from smart home gateways and IP cameras to industrial PLCs, SCADA systems and, apparently, space.
