Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Apache HTTP Server versions 2.0.37 through 2.0.45

Description: The issue is related to a problem in the apr psprintf function within the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library. This allows remote attackers to potentially cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by sending long strings. This can be achieved through various vectors, including the use of XML objects to mod dav.

Recommendations: For Apache HTTP Server versions 2.0.37 through 2.0.45, update to a version that includes a fix for the apr psprintf function issue to prevent potential denial of service and arbitrary code execution attacks.
