Vendor's Description:

"This is a very basic http server. This server can accept multiple
requests at once. The server is only 56 kb. The server has been
configured to accept a maximum of 100 connections.
As of now Tiny Server supports only the GET request."

2. The bugs:
-------------

[1] directory traversal bug: the program does't make a good check on
    the user input string ( /../ ) so an attacker is able to see and
    download all the files on the remote system simply using his
    browser.

[2] denial of service bug: the program have no checks on the input
    strings received, so an attacker is able to crash the server
    simply sending a crafted string.

[3] cross site scripting bug: the program doesn't make a full check
    on the strings sent by the client, in fact the input strings are
    not filtered and they will appear in the returned page.
