CVE-2013-1862

First published: Fri Apr 19 2013(Updated: )

It was found that mod_rewrite writes data to a log file without sanitizing non-printable characters. A remote attacker could use this flaw to write terminal escape sequences to log files (if the RewriteLog directive was used by mod_rewrite). This could possibly cause arbitrary command execution, via HTTP requests containing an escape sequence for a terminal emulator. (if for example the log files were viewed in a terminal emulator) Reference: <a href="http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&amp;revision=r1469311">http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&amp;revision=r1469311</a> Proposed patch: <a href="http://people.apache.org/~jorton/mod_rewrite-CVE-2013-1862.patch">http://people.apache.org/~jorton/mod_rewrite-CVE-2013-1862.patch</a>
