Rule Name: | Apache httpd mod_auth_digest Memory Access Denial of Service Vulnerability (CVE-2017-9788) | |
Severity: | ||
CVE ID: | ||
Rule Protection Details |
---|
Description: | In Apache httpd before 2.2.34 and 2.4.x before 2.4.27, the value placeholder in [Proxy-]Authorization headers of type 'Digest' was not initialized or reset before or between successive key=value assignments by mod_auth_digest. Providing an initial key with no '=' assignment could reflect the stale value of uninitialized pool memory used by the prior request, leading to leakage of potentially confidential information, and a segfault in other cases resulting in denial of service. | |
Impact: | An attacker can launch a denial of service attack by exploiting the vulnerability successfully. | |
Affected OS: | Windows, Linux, Others | |
