CVE-2013-1896: Medium severity apache http server vulnerability

Published Jul 10, 2013
·
Updated

moddav.c in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.2.25 does not properly determine whether DAV is enabled for a URI, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a MERGE request in which the URI is configured for handling by the moddavsvn module, but a certain href attribute in XML data refers to a non-DAV URI.
