Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when processing HTTP Digest Authentication tokens, if memory pooling is disabled. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted authentication nonce and execute arbitrary code on the server through the free'd nonce credentials.

In case memory pooling is enabled, a remote attacker can replay a sniffed Digest Authentication nonce to gain access  to resources that are otherwise forbidden.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Mitigation
