Two vulnerabilities have been identified in the Apache 1.3 webserver :

  • CAN-2004-0940 ‘Crazy Einstein’ has discovered a vulnerability in the ‘mod_include’ module, which can cause a buffer to be overflown and could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

  • NO VULN ID

    Larry Cashdollar has discovered a potential buffer overflow in the htpasswd utility, which could be exploited when user-supplied is passed to the program via a CGI (or PHP, or ePerl, …) program.
