Synopsis |
17 |
======== |
18 |
|
19 |
The Apache Tomcat Connector (mod_jk) contains a buffer overflow |
20 |
vulnerability that could result in the remote execution of arbitrary |
21 |
code. |
22 |
|
23 |
Background |
24 |
========== |
25 |
|
26 |
The Apache HTTP server is a very widely used web server. mod_jk |
27 |
provides the JK module for connecting Tomcat and Apache using the ajp13 |
28 |
protocol. |
29 |
|
30 |
Affected packages |

================= |
32 |
|
33 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
34 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
35 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
36 |
1 www-apache/mod_jk < 1.2.21-r1 >= 1.2.21-r1 |

Description |
39 |
=========== |
40 |
|
41 |
ZDI reported an unsafe memory copy in mod_jk that was discovered by an |
42 |
anonymous researcher in the map_uri_to_worker function of |
43 |
native/common/jk_uri_worker_map.c . |
44 |
|
45 |
Impact |
46 |
====== |
47 |
|
48 |
A remote attacker can send a long URL request to an Apache server using |
49 |
Tomcat. That can trigger the vulnerability and lead to a stack-based |
50 |
buffer overflow, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code |
51 |
with the permissions of the Apache user. |
52 |
|
53 |
Workaround |
54 |
========== |
55 |
|
56 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
57 |
|
58 |
Resolution |
59 |
========== |
60 |
|
61 |
All Apache Tomcat users should upgrade to the latest version: |
62 |
|
63 |
# emerge --sync |
64 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apache/mod_jk-1.2.21-r1" |
65 |
