Apache 2.0.x < 2.0.48 Multiple Vulnerabilities (OF, Info Disc.)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 11853

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.
