Description David Lawrence 2005-03-30 23:25:23 UTC

(4) LOW: Apache mod_ssl "ssl_util_uuencode_binary" Buffer Overflow
Affected: Apache version 1.3.x and 2.x configured with "mod_ssl" support.

Description: The "mod_ssl" module provides cryptography support for the
Apache webserver. This module contains a stack-based buffer overflow in
its "ssl_util_uuencode_binary" function. The flaw can be triggered by
an overlong "Subject-DN" in a specially crafted client certificate, if
the certificate's Certificate Authority (CA) is trusted and the
"mod_ssl" module is configured with "FakeBasicAuth" option. Exploiting
this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the x86 architecture is
reportedly not possible. However, it may be possible to execute
arbitrary code when Apache is installed on other machine architectures
(not confirmed). The technical details regarding the flaw have been
posted.
