Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9798)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free error when processing HTTP OPTIONS requests in server/core.c, when limits are configured in .htaccess or httpd.conf configuration files. A remote unauthenticated attacker can read portions of memory through HTTP OPTIONS requests and gain access to potentially sensitive data.

The vulnerability is dubbed Optionsbleed.


2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-12618)

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:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


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.
