CVE-2002-0082

Published Mar 15, 2002 apache-ssl

Overview

CVE-2002-0082 is a known-severity vulnerability affecting apache-ssl apache-ssl. It was published on March 15, 2002.

Technical 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.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from apache-ssl. Update apache-ssl to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
