Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Apache Software Foundation Mod Jk up to 2.0.1. It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown functionality of the component mod_jk2. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the legacy mod_jk2 2.0.3-DEV and earlier Apache module allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long (1) Host header, or (2) Hostname within a Host header.

The weakness was released 02/18/2008 with IOActive as confirmed advisory (CERT.org). It is possible to read the advisory at kb.cert.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2007-6258 since 12/05/2007. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.

A public exploit has been developed in C++. The exploit is shared for download at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. We expect the 0-day to have been worth approximately $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 31786 (Apache mod_jk2 Host Header Multiple Fields Remote Overflow), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Web Servers.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (40614), Tenable (31786), SecurityFocus (BID 27752†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-49271†). Statistical analysis made it clear that VulDB provides the best quality for vulnerability data.
