Apache » Http Server » 2.0.28 beta : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2003

The mod_php module for the Apache HTTP Server allows local users with write access to PHP scripts to send signals to the server's process group and use the server's file descriptors, as demonstrated by sending a STOP signal, then intercepting incoming connections on the server's TCP port. NOTE: the PHP developer has disputed this vulnerability, saying "The opened file descriptors are opened by Apache. It is the job of Apache to protect them ... Not a bug in PHP.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in (1) mod_alias and (2) mod_rewrite for Apache before 1.3.29 allow attackers to create configuration files to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a regular expression with more than 9 captures.

Apache 2 before 2.0.47, when running on an IPv6 host, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption by infinite loop) when the FTP proxy server fails to create an IPv6 socket.

The prefork MPM in Apache 2 before 2.0.47 does not properly handle certain errors from accept, which could lead to a denial of service.

Apache 2 before 2.0.47, and certain versions of mod_ssl for Apache 1.3, do not properly handle "certain sequences of per-directory renegotiations and the SSLCipherSuite directive being used to upgrade from a weak ciphersuite to a strong one," which could cause Apache to use the weak ciphersuite.

Unknown vulnerability in filestat.c for Apache running on OS2, versions 2.0 through 2.0.45, allows unknown attackers to cause a denial of service via requests related to device names.

A memory leak in Apache 2.0 through 2.0.44 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via large chunks of linefeed characters, which causes Apache to allocate 80 bytes for each linefeed.

Apache 1.3 before 1.3.25 and Apache 2.0 before version 2.0.46 does not filter terminal escape sequences from its access logs, which could make it easier for attackers to insert those sequences into terminal emulators containing vulnerabilities related to escape sequences, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0020.

Apache does not filter terminal escape sequences from its error logs, which could make it easier for attackers to insert those sequences into terminal emulators containing vulnerabilities related to escape sequences.
