CVE-2002-0842
Overview
CVE-2002-0842 is a known-severity vulnerability affecting oracle application_server. It was published on March 3, 2003.
Technical Description
Format string vulnerability in certain third party modifications to mod_dav for logging bad gateway messages (e.g. Oracle9i Application Server 9.0.2) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a destination URI that forces a "502 Bad Gateway" response, which causes the format string specifiers to be returned from dav_lookup_uri() in mod_dav.c, which is then used in a call to ap_log_rerror().
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from oracle. Update application_server 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.
