CVE-2017-7679 Details
Description
In Apache httpd 2.2.x before 2.2.33 and 2.4.x before 2.4.26, mod_mime can read one byte past the end of a buffer when sending a malicious Content-Type response header.
A buffer overread vulnerability has been identified in the Apache HTTP Server's mod_mime module, specifically in versions 2.2.x prior to 2.2.33 and 2.4.x prior to 2.4.26. The vulnerability allows mod_mime to read one byte beyond the end of a buffer when transmitting a crafted Content-Type response header. This flaw could be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a segmentation fault, leading to a crash of the Apache server process.
Users of Apache HTTP Server 2.4.x should upgrade to version 2.4.26. For those on the 2.2.x branch, an upgrade to 2.2.33 is recommended. Additionally, Red Hat JBoss Core Services users should update to version 2.4.23 Service Pack 3.
