CVE-2005-1344: Apache HTTP Server

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 29.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• Apache HTTP Server: version 2.0.52 only
