CVE-2020-35452: mod_auth_digest possible stack overflow by one nul byte
Severity: low
Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Versions Affected:
httpd 2.4.0 to 2.4.46
Description:
Apache HTTP Server 2.4.0 to 2.4.46
A specially crafted Digest nonce can cause a stack overflow in mod_auth_digest. There is no report of this overflow
being exploitable, nor the Apache HTTP Server team could create one, though some particular compiler and/or compilation
option might make it possible, with limited consequences anyway due to the size (a single byte) and the value (zero
byte) of the overflow
Mitigation:
None
Credit:
This issue was discovered and reported by GHSL team member @antonio-morales (Antonio Morales)
