Description

Note: The impact of this flaw is rather limited. Using a default prefork MPM (Multi-Processing Module), this casues a crash of a httpd child process. As with prefork MPM, only one request is served by each child process at any time, the problem only breaks current request and does not causes denial of service for whole daemon or other concurrent requests served by other child processes. When multi-threaded worker MPM is used (not default on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora), crash of a child process can break other concurrent requests served by the same child process at the moment of the crash. Additionally, httpd's proxying is typically used as reverse proxy, rather than forward proxy, where servers to which requests are proxied are trusted, and hence no trust boundary is crossed in such setups. This problem is not limited to EPSV command reply. Similar problem exists in handling of PASV command (that code is reached e.g. when FTP server does not implement EPSV). MITRE's CVE-2009-3094 record: ----------------------------- The ap_proxy_ftp_handler function in modules/proxy/proxy_ftp.c in the mod_proxy_ftp module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.0.63 and 2.2.13 allows remote FTP servers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and child process crash) via a malformed reply to an EPSV command.
