CVE-2019-0211

En Apache HTTP Server 2.4, versiones 2.4.17 a 2.4.38, con el evento MPM, worker o prefork, el código ejecutándose en procesos hijo (o hilos) menos privilegiados (incluyendo scripts ejecutados por un intérprete de scripts en proceso) podría ejecutar código arbitrario con los privilegios del proceso padre (normalmente root) manipulando el marcador. Los sistemas que no son Unix no se ven afectados.

A flaw was found in Apache where code executing in a less-privileged child process or thread could execute arbitrary code with the privilege of the parent process (usually root). An attacker having access to run arbitrary scripts on the web server (PHP, CGI etc) could use this flaw to run code on the web server with root privileges.

Apache versions 2.4.17 through 2.4.38 suffer from a local root privilege escalation vulnerability due to an out-of-bounds array access leading to an arbitrary function call.

Apache HTTP Server, with MPM event, worker or prefork, code executing in less-privileged child processes or threads (including scripts executed by an in-process scripting interpreter) could execute code with the privileges of the parent process (usually root) by manipulating the scoreboard.
