Discussion

Apache Web Server Remote IPv6 Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Apache Web Server is reportedly affected by a remote buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a buffer boundary condition error that fails to provide a valid string length parameter while using libc memory copy functions.

It has been reported that this issue can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on computers running BSD based Unix variants. This issue is reportedly due to the implementation of the 'memcpy()' function.

On Linux based Unix variants this issue can only be exploited to trigger a denial of service condition.
