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.

The following are some examples to test the vulnerabilities:

or simply:
