Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11803)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing recursive directory listing operations. A remote authenticated attacker can omit the root path, trigger the mod_dav_svn to deference an uninitialized pointer variable and, as a result, crash the HTTPD worker process handling the request.
