7.2 HIGH — AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Description

The shared memory scoreboard in the HTTP daemon for Apache 1.3.x before 1.3.27 allows any user running as the Apache UID to send a SIGUSR1 signal to any process as root, resulting in a denial of service (process kill) or possibly other behaviors that would not normally be allowed, by modifying the parent[].pid and parent[].last_rtime segments in the scoreboard.

Affected configurations

• apache http server (>= 1.3.0 < 1.3.27) • debian debian linux 2.2 • debian debian linux 3.0
