Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-12613)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.
The weakness exists due to an out-of-bounds array dereference in the apr_time_exp_get() function. A remote attacker can access prior out-of-bounds memory, reveal the contents of a different static heap value and read arbitrary files or cause the application to crash.
