Simple Web Server (SWS) 0.0.4 through 0.1.0 does not close file descriptors for 404 error messages, which could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file descriptor exhaustion) via multiple requests for pages that do not exist.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Simple Web Server can run out of file handles when it returns 404 errors. If an affected SWS instance is reachable, repeated requests for missing pages could make the service unavailable. Exposure is likely limited to legacy deployments running SWS 0.0.4 through 0.1.0, especially internet-facing or unauthenticated instances. The structured affected-product data is incomplete. Treat this as a legacy availability risk. Prioritize remediation if SWS is internet-facing or supports business workflows; otherwise fold into legacy software retirement. Mitigation focus: Identify and remove exposed SWS 0.0.4 through 0.1.0 instances.; Check original vendor or maintainer guidance for fixed versions or replacement advice.; Restrict network access to any legacy instance until it is retired..
