CVE-2018-1301: Buffer Overflow

First published: Mon Mar 26 2018(Updated: )

A specially crafted request could have crashed the Apache HTTP Server prior to version 2.4.30, due to an out of bound access after a size limit is reached by reading the HTTP header. This vulnerability is considered very hard if not impossible to trigger in non-debug mode (both log and build level), so it is classified as low risk for common server usage. Versions Affected: httpd 2.0.1 to 2.4.29 External references: <a href="https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html">https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html</a>
