Out-of-bounds read in Apache HTTP Server - CVE-2022-28615

Vulnerability identifier: #VU64083

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28615

CWE-ID: CWE-125

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the ap_strcmp_match() function when processing an extremely large input buffer. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the web server, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.

Note, the code distributed with the Apache HTTP Server cannot be coerced into such a call. The vulnerability can affect third-party modules or lua scripts that use ap_strcmp_match().
