Descriptions

The fnmatch implementation in apr_fnmatch.c in the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library 1.4.3 and 1.4.4, and the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.18, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a URI that does not match unspecified types of wildcard patterns, as demonstrated by attacks against mod_autoindex in httpd when a /*/WEB-INF/ configuration pattern is used. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2011-0419.

La implementación de fnmatch de apr_fnmatch.c de la librería Apache Portable Runtime (APR) 1.4.3 y 1.4.4, y el servidor Apache HTTP 2.2.18, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (bucle infinito) a través de una URI que no encaja en tipos de patrones de comodines sin especificar. Como se ha demostrado en ataques contra mod_autoindex en httpd cuando un patrón de configuración /*/WEB-INF/ es utilizado. NOTA: esta vulnerabilidad existe debido a una solución incorrecta a CVE-2011-0419.

Memory consumption errors in Apache Portable Runtime and APR Utility Library could result in Denial of Service. Versions less than 1.4.8-r1 are affected.
