US-CERT Vulnerability Note VU#771937

Apache mod_jk2 host header buffer overflow

Overview

   A vulnerability exists the legacy version of the mod_jk2 Apache
   module. If successfully exploited, an attacker may be able to run
   arbitrary code on affected system.

I. Description

   The host header allows HTTP 1.1 (RFC 2616) compliant servers to
   host multiple domains using a single IP address.

   Per the IOActive Security Advisory Multiple Buffer Overflows in
   legacy mod_jk2 apache module 2.0.3-DEV and earlier:
       mod_jk2 versions less than 2.0.4 are vulnerable to multiple stack
       overflow vulnerabilities. Specifically, IOActive has discovered
       multiple locations where these vulnerabilities are exploitable via
       the Host request header in any given request. These overflows all
       result in remote code execution under the user of the running apache
       process.  Although a legacy module which is end of life, certain
       vendors may use this module in their products rendering them
       vulnerable to remote exploitation.

II. Impact

   A remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary
   code.

III. Solution

   Upgrade

   mod_jk2 2.0.4 addresses this issue.
