CVE-2014-8566 – mod_auth_mellon: remote memory disclosure flaw

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2014-8566

The mod_auth_mellon module before 0.8.1 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via unspecified vectors related to a "session overflow" involving "sessions overlapping in memory." El modulo mod_auth_mellon anterior a 0.8.1 permite a atacantes remotos obtener información sensible o causar una denegación de servicio (fallo en la segmentación) a través de vectores sin especificar, relacionado con un 'desbordamiento de sesión' que implica 'la superposición de sesiones en la memoria'. An information disclosure flaw was found in mod_auth_mellon's session handling that could lead to session overlapping in memory. A remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to obtain data from another user's session. • http://linux.oracle.com/errata/ELSA-2014-1803.html http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-1803.html http://secunia.com/advisories/62094 http://secunia.com/advisories/62125 https://github.com/UNINETT/mod_auth_mellon/releases/tag/v0.8.1 https://postlister.uninett.no/sympa/arc/modmellon/2014-11/msg00000.html https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2014-8566 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1157281 • CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor •
