Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Apache HTTP Server 2.2.4 (Web Server). Affected is some unknown functionality of the component Prefork MPM. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

Apache httpd 2.0.59 and 2.2.4, with the Prefork MPM module, allows local users to cause a denial of service via certain code sequences executed in a worker process that (1) stop request processing by killing all worker processes and preventing creation of replacements or (2) hang the system by forcing the master process to fork an arbitrarily large number of worker processes. NOTE: This might be an inherent design limitation of Apache with respect to worker processes in hosted environments.

The bug was discovered 06/20/2007. The weakness was presented 05/29/2007 by Security Team as not defined posting (Bugtraq). The advisory is shared for download at securityfocus.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2007-3303 since 06/20/2007. The exploitability is told to be easy. The attack needs to be approached locally.
