Summary
Apache HTTP Server is prone to a directory traversal and a possible remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability.
Insight
Insight
An attacker could use a path traversal attack to map URLs to files outside the expected document root. If files outside of the document root are not protected by 'require all denied' these requests can succeed. Additionally this flaw could leak the source of interpreted files like CGI scripts. Note: If 'mod_cgi' is enabled this flaw can be also be used by an attacker to achieve remote code execution (RCE).
Affected Software
