CVE-2018-1301
A specially crafted request could have crashed the Apache HTTP Server prior to version 2.4.30, due to an out of bound access after a size limit is reached by reading the HTTP header.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 15.0%, higher than 97% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
Description
A specially crafted request could have crashed the Apache HTTP Server prior to version 2.4.30, due to an out of bound access after a size limit is reached by reading the HTTP header. This vulnerability is considered very hard if not impossible to trigger in non-debug mode (both log and build level), so it is classified as low risk for common server usage.
