Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions mod jk2 versions 2.0.3-DEV and earlier

Description The issue is related to multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the legacy mod jk2 Apache module. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long Host header or a Hostname within a Host header.

Recommendations For mod jk2 versions 2.0.3-DEV and earlier, consider updating to a newer version that addresses these buffer overflows. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the Host header to minimize the risk of exploitation.
