A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Apache HTTP Server 2.2.3 (Web Server). This affects an unknown part. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
suexec in Apache HTTP Server (httpd) 2.2.3 uses a partial comparison for verifying whether the current directory is within the document root, which might allow local users to perform unauthorized operations on incorrect directories, as demonstrated using “html_backup” and “htmleditor” under an “html” directory. NOTE: the researcher, who is reliable, claims that the vendor disputes the issue because “the attacks described rely on an insecure server configuration” in which the user “has write access to the document root.”
