7.5 HIGH — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

The dbm and shm session cache code in mod_ssl before 2.8.7-1.3.23, and Apache-SSL before 1.3.22+1.46, does not properly initialize memory using the i2d_SSL_SESSION function, which allows remote attackers to use a buffer overflow to execute arbitrary code via a large client certificate that is signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA), which produces a large serialized session.

Affected configurations

• apache-ssl apache-ssl 1.40 • apache-ssl apache-ssl 1.41 • apache-ssl apache-ssl 1.42 • apache-ssl apache-ssl 1.44 • apache-ssl apache-ssl 1.45 • apache-ssl apache-ssl 1.46 • mod ssl mod ssl 2.7.1 • mod ssl mod ssl 2.8 • mod ssl mod ssl 2.8.1 • mod ssl mod ssl 2.8.2 • mod ssl mod ssl 2.8.3 • mod ssl mod ssl 2.8.4 • mod ssl mod ssl 2.8.5 • mod ssl mod ssl 2.8.6
