Security issues affecting Apache httpd 1.3.31

This page gives a list of all the vulnerabilities that are known to affect version 1.3.31 of Apache httpd. Note however that some vendor versions of Apache may already contain backported security patches for some of these issues, so if you're using a vendor-supplied version of Apache contact your vendor for details.

Affects Apache httpd 1.3.31

moderate: mod_include overflow CAN-2004-0940

A buffer overflow in mod_include could allow a local user who is authorised to create server side include (SSI) files to gain the privileges of a httpd child.

moderate: mod_proxy buffer overflow CAN-2004-0492

A buffer overflow was found in the Apache proxy module, mod_proxy, which can be triggered by receiving an invalid Content-Length header. In order to exploit this issue an attacker would need to get an Apache installation that was configured as a proxy to connect to a malicious site. This would cause the Apache child processing the request to crash, although this does not represent a significant Denial of Service attack as requests will continue to be handled by other Apache child processes. This issue may lead to remote arbitrary code execution on some BSD platforms.
