Some notes:
On apache, when an overflow happends on a cgic script, this is written to the log:
*** stack smashing detected ***: /var/www/w3af/bufferOverflow/buffOverflow.cgi terminated, referer: http://localhost/w3af/bufferOverflow/buffOverflow.cgi
Premature end of script headers: buffOverflow.cgi, referer: http://localhost/w3af/bufferOverflow/buffOverflow.cgi
On apache, when an overflow happends on a cgic script, this is returned to the user:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>500 Internal Server Error</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Internal Server Error</h1>
<p>The server encountered an internal error or
misconfiguration and was unable to complete
your request.</p>
<p>Please contact the server administrator,
webmaster@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred,
and anything you might have done that may have
caused the error.</p>
<p>More information about this error may be available
in the server error log.</p>
