A buffer overflow can cause an open unsecured server to crash after 2GB (greater than 2147483711 bytes to trigger the software bug)) XML message is received. Fortunately, the overflowing data after 2GB is cleaned up in the buffer which means that the chances of exploiting this flaw (by injecting code) is significantly reduced in gSOAP versions affected.

CVE-2017-9765 is classified as a moderate severity vulnerability due to the potential for a buffer overflow that could lead to a crash of the affected server.
To mitigate CVE-2017-9765, upgrade to gSOAP version 2.8.48 or later.
CVE-2017-9765 affects gSOAP versions 2.7.0 through 2.8.47.
While CVE-2017-9765 shows a potential for exploitation, the buffer overflow is unlikely to be exploitable due to data cleanup after exceeding 2GB.
CVE-2017-9765 is a buffer overflow vulnerability caused by the handling of large XML messages in gSOAP.
