Description

Buffer overflow in htdigest in Apache 1.3.26 and 1.3.27 may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long user argument. NOTE: since htdigest is normally only locally accessible and not setuid or setgid, there are few attack vectors which would lead to an escalation of privileges, unless htdigest is executed from a CGI program. Therefore this may not be a vulnerability.

Affected products

Apache HTTP Server: 1.3.1, 1.3.3, 1.3.4, 1.3.6, 1.3.9, 1.3.11 (+12)
