critical Nessus Plugin ID 11853
Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The remote host appears to be running a version of Apache 2.0.x prior to 2.0.48. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :- The mod_rewrite and mod_alias modules fail to handle regular expressions containing more than 9 captures resulting in a buffer overflow.
- A vulnerability may occur in the mod_cgid module caused by the mishandling of CGI redirect paths. This could cause Apache to send the output of a CGI program to the wrong client.
Solution
Upgrade to Apache web server version 2.0.48 or later.See Also
