Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in mod_security on Apache 2 allowing malicious users to escalate their privileges.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling output generated by the server. This can be exploited by uploading a specially crafted CGI script, which may allow arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the httpd process.
If a remote person is able to control the output of server side scripts, it may potentially be exploited to gain system access.
The vulnerability has been reported in versions 1.7RC1 to 1.7.1 on Apache 2.
