Apache 2.2.x < 2.2.23 Multiple Vulnerabilities
high Nessus Plugin ID 62101
Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
According to its banner, the version of Apache 2.2.x running on the remote host is prior to 2.2.23. It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :- The utility 'apachectl' can receive a zero-length directory name in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH via the 'envvars' file. A local attacker with access to that utility could exploit this to load a malicious Dynamic Shared Object (DSO), leading to arbitrary code execution.
(CVE-2012-0883)
- An input validation error exists related to 'mod_negotiation', 'Multiviews' and untrusted uploads that can allow cross-site scripting attacks.
(CVE-2012-2687)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these flaws but has instead relied on the version in the server's banner.
Solution
Upgrade to Apache version 2.2.23 or later.See Also
