Hi, 

Does anyone know if the input to htsearch can be used in buffer overrun attacks?
We are running htdig on apache and in checking the access logs I noticed some
odd lines like this.

?config=htdig&restrict=&exclude=&method=boolean&format=builtin-long&words=+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ads+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++and+%28archsci+or+archsci-www%29

Does this look normal, or is someone trying to force a buffer overrun through
either apache or htdig. 

Version info

Solaris 2.5.1
apache 1.2.5
Htdig 3.0.8b2

Cheers
        Jon
