<access>remote</access>
<affected>
<package name="www-apache/mod_jk" auto="yes" arch="*">
<unaffected range="ge">1.2.21-r1</unaffected>
<vulnerable range="lt">1.2.21-r1</vulnerable>
</package>
</affected>
<background>
<p>
The Apache HTTP server is a very widely used web server. mod_jk
provides the JK module for connecting Tomcat and Apache using the ajp13
protocol.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
ZDI reported an unsafe memory copy in mod_jk that was discovered by an
anonymous researcher in the map_uri_to_worker function of
native/common/jk_uri_worker_map.c .
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
A remote attacker can send a long URL request to an Apache server using
Tomcat. That can trigger the vulnerability and lead to a stack-based
buffer overflow, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code
with the permissions of the Apache user.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Apache Tomcat users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-apache/mod_jk-1.2.21-r1&quot;</code>
</resolution>
