CVE-2002-1658 Memory corruption in n/a

What is CVE-2002-1658?

CVE-2002-1658 is a medium-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Apache Http Server, published on 27 Apr 2005. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

Buffer overflow in htdigest in Apache 1.3.26 and 1.3.27 may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long user argument. NOTE: since htdigest is normally only locally accessible and not setuid or setgid, there are few attack vectors which would lead to an escalation of privileges, unless htdigest is executed from a CGI program. Therefore this may not be a vulnerability.
