Bug in Apache 1.3.20 Server - Hackemate Research

["Hackemate.com.ar" <hackemate () softhome net>]

This bug (?) affects: Apache/1.3.20 Server

        While, updating my site and checking out some things and
directories, I discovered something pretty interesting in the tmp
directory, there were three files, one with a "sem" extension and
the other two ones without anyone.

Files in Tmp directory:

· sess_0af4137ea55aa752a12971b3145d815b
· sess_b2e462409e859648ae96a2da84dc03ce
· session_mm.sem

Content of file "sess_0af4137ea55aa752a12971b3145d815b"

username|s:9:"matt";password|s:9:"secret";!status|lastlist|s:4:"acct";domain|s:16:"host";

as soon as i read it I realised it is nothing more and nothing less than
the server username and password to log in in PLAIN TEXT!
Obviously i changed it where "matt" is the real username and "SECRET" the password

Content of file "sess_b2e462409e859648ae96a2da84dc03ce"

username|s:9:"USERname";password|s:9:"password";!status|lastlist|s:4:"acct";domain|s:16:"host";

The last file "session_mm.sem" was empty
