New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it is different from CVSS.
VPR Score: 5.9
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
