CVE-2005-1344

View on CVE.org

Published Apr 27, 2005 CVSS 2.0 · 7.5 High EPSS 29.1% KEV · Not listed

Description

Buffer overflow in htdigest in Apache 2.0.52 may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long realm argument. NOTE: since htdigest is normally only locally accessible and not setuid or setgid, there are few attack vectors which would lead to an escalation of privileges, unless htdigest is executed from a CGI program. Therefore this may not be a vulnerability.
