CVE-2004-0786

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache versions prior to 2.0.51

Description The issue is related to the IPv6 URI parsing routines in the apr-util library, which can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically a child process crash, by sending a request with a carefully crafted URI. In some cases, on certain BSD systems, this flaw may potentially lead to remote code execution.

Recommendations For Apache versions prior to 2.0.51, update to version 2.0.51 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the IPv6 URI parsing routines in the apr-util library until a patch is available.
