Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds write
EUVDB-ID: #VU11283
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 7.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15710
CWE-ID:
CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in HTTPD mod_authnz_ldap due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted Accept-Language header value, trigger an out-of-bounds memory write error and potentially cause
the target service to crash.
Install updates from vendor's website.

2) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU11281
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1301
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to trigger an out-of-bounds
memory access error after a header size limit has been reached to cause
the target service to crash.

3) Security restrictions bypass
EUVDB-ID: #VU17178
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17199
CWE-ID:
CWE-284 - Improper Access Control
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.
The weakness exists due to mod_session checks the session expiry time before decoding the session. A remote attacker сan cause session expiry time to be ignored for mod_session_cookie sessions since the expiry time is loaded when the session is decoded and reuse old session credentials or session IDs, which the attacker could use to access web pages previously accessed by a targeted user.
