Summary
The dbm and shm session cache code in mod_ssl before 2.8.7-1.3.23, and Apache-SSL before 1.3.22+1.46, does not properly initialize memory using the i2d_SSL_SESSION function, which allows remote attackers to use a buffer overflow to execute arbitrary code via a large client certificate that is signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA), which produces a large serialized session.
Sources
5Secured root-level access by identifying and exploiting misconfigurations and outdated software. Buffer overflow vulnerability in an outdated version of mod_ssl (CVE-2002-0082). Privilege escalation was subsequently achieved by exploiting a race condition in the Linux kernel's "ptrace" utility (CVE-2003-0127),
