An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-1999-1412 exists.\n\nAffected product: Apache Http Server. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1412/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1412/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1412","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1412/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1412","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f45g-hj72-h8m6","MINI-cgxv-pf4v-3gh8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MacOS X Apache CGI","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can crash the system by flooding CGI programs with HTTP GET requests, causing excessive process generation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"http_server","vendor":"apache"},{"product":"macos","vendor":"apple"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"A possible interaction between Apple MacOS X release 1.0 and Apache HTTP server allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a flood of HTTP GET requests to CGI programs, which generates a large number of processes.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"1999-06-03","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"1999-06-03","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19244","stars":null,"title":"Apple Mac OSX Server 10.0 - Overload"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1412","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apache:http_server","products":["apache:http_server","apple:macos"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Solaris 2.4 before kernel jumbo patch -35 allows set-gid programs to dump core even if the real user id is not in the set-gid group, which a","id":"CVE-1999-1413"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1411"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-09-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2021-42013","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-10-07"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server Improper Escaping of Output","id":"CVE-2024-38475","kev_date_added":"2025-05-01","published":"2024-07-01"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)","id":"CVE-2021-40438","kev_date_added":"2021-12-01","published":"2021-09-16"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2019-0211","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-04-08"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2021-41773","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-10-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0425","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-03-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2700","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-09-06"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can crash the system by flooding CGI programs with HTTP GET requests, causing excessive process generation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1412/"}
