VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache HTTP Server versions prior to 2.4.49
Description The ap escape quotes() function contains a flaw where it may write beyond the end of a buffer when processing malicious input. While no included modules pass untrusted data to this function, third-party or external modules may do so. This could allow a remote attacker to access confidential data, compromise data integrity, or cause a denial of service.
Recommendations Update to version 2.4.49 or later. Restrict the use of third-party modules that pass untrusted data to the ap escape quotes() function.
