Vigil@nce - Apache mod_cluster: buffer overflow via JVMRoute
December 2016 by Vigil@nce
This bulletin was written by Vigil@nce : https://vigilance.fr/offer
SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY
An attacker can generate a buffer overflow via JVMRoute of Apache
mod_cluster, in order to trigger a denial of service, and possibly
to run code.
Impacted products: Red Hat JBoss EAP.
Severity: 2/4.
Creation date: 13/10/2016.
DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY
The Apache mod_cluster product processes JVMRoute messages via
mod_manager.
However, if the size of JVMRoute data is greater than the size of
the storage array, an overflow occurs.
An attacker can therefore generate a buffer overflow via JVMRoute
of Apache mod_cluster, in order to trigger a denial of service,
and possibly to run code.
