4.6 MEDIUM — AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

Buffer overflow in htdigest in Apache 1.3.26 and 1.3.27 may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long user argument. NOTE: since htdigest is normally only locally accessible and not setuid or setgid, there are few attack vectors which would lead to an escalation of privileges, unless htdigest is executed from a CGI program. Therefore this may not be a vulnerability.

Affected configurations

• apache http server 1.3.1 • apache http server 1.3.3 • apache http server 1.3.4 • apache http server 1.3.6 • apache http server 1.3.9 • apache http server 1.3.11 • apache http server 1.3.12 • apache http server 1.3.14 • apache http server 1.3.17 • apache http server 1.3.18 • apache http server 1.3.19 • apache http server 1.3.20 • apache http server 1.3.22 • apache http server 1.3.23 • apache http server 1.3.24 • apache http server 1.3.25 • apache http server 1.3.26 • apache http server 1.3.27
