I think I found a vulnerability that results in local execution of
code as root if local user is allowed to write to the directory that
serves the web pages.

page_from_file checks the file size first, then allocates a buffer and
starts copying data. If the size of the file changes between these
steps aa-http will overflow the buffer.
