CVE-2002-0082

EXPLOIT ×3 ✓HIGH 7.5EPSS 29.7%

Does this matter?

EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 29.7%, higher than 98% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.

Description

The dbm and shm session cache code in mod_ssl before 2.8.7-1.3.23, and Apache-SSL before 1.3.22+1.46, does not properly initialize memory using the i2d_SSL_SESSION function, which allows remote attackers to use a buffer overflow to execute arbitrary code via a large client certificate that is signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA), which produces a large serialized session.
