Descriptions
Apache httpd allows remote attackers to read secret data from process memory if the Limit directive can be set in a user's .htaccess file, or if httpd.conf has certain misconfigurations, aka Optionsbleed. This affects the Apache HTTP Server through 2.2.34 and 2.4.x through 2.4.27. The attacker sends an unauthenticated OPTIONS HTTP request when attempting to read secret data. This is a use-after-free issue and thus secret data is not always sent, and the specific data depends on many factors including configuration. Exploitation with .htaccess can be blocked with a patch to the ap_limit_section function in server/core.c.
Apache httpd permite que atacantes remotos lean datos secretos de la memoria de proceso si la directiva Limit se puede establecer en un archivo .htaccess del usuario o si existen ciertos errores de configuración en httpd.conf. Esto también se conoce como Optionsbleed. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Apache HTTP Server hasta la versión 2.2.34 y a las versiones 2.4.x hasta la 2.4.27. El atacante envía una petición HTTP OPTIONS sin autenticar cuando intenta leer datos secretos. Este es un problema de uso de memoria previamente liberada y, por lo tanto, los datos secretos no siempre se envían y los datos específicos dependen de muchos factores, entre los que se encuentra la configuración. La explotación con .htaccess puede bloquearse con un parche en la función ap_limit_section en server/core.c.
A use-after-free flaw was found in the way httpd handled invalid and previously unregistered HTTP methods specified in the Limit directive used in an .htaccess file. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to disclose portions of the server memory, or cause httpd child process to crash.
