It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2004-0940 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-2004-0940/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-0940/index.md)","id":"CVE-2004-0940","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-0940/index.md","name":"CVE-2004-0940","record":{"aliases":["DSA-594-1","GHSA-cx2h-jfxr-vw9c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache web server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code as the Apache user via crafted SSI documents due to a buffer overflow in mod_include.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"http_server","vendor":"apache"},{"product":"hp-ux","vendor":"hp"},{"product":"openpkg","vendor":"openpkg"},{"product":"slackware_linux","vendor":"slackware"},{"product":"suse_linux","vendor":"suse"},{"product":"secure_linux","vendor":"trustix"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-131","name":"Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size"}],"description":"Buffer overflow in the get_tag function in mod_include for Apache 1.3.x to 1.3.32 allows local users who can create SSI documents to execute arbitrary code as the apache user via SSI (XSSI) documents that trigger a length calculation error.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2004-10-18","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2004-10-18","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"24694","stars":null,"title":"Apache 1.3.x mod_include - Local Buffer Overflow"},{"date":"2004-10-21","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"587","stars":null,"title":"Apache 1.3.31 mod_include - Local Buffer Overflow"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0940","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apache:http_server","products":["apache:http_server","hp:hp-ux","slackware:slackware_linux","suse:suse_linux","trustix:secure_linux"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2004"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":21,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0941"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0939"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2004-10-26","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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"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":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code as the Apache user via crafted SSI documents due to a buffer overflow in mod_include.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-0940/"}
