CVE-2018-1283
MEDIUM5.3EPSS 3.8%Published: 3/26/2018Modified: 4/28/2026
Description
In Apache httpd 2.4.0 to 2.4.29, when mod_session is configured to forward its session data to CGI applications (SessionEnv on, not the default), a remote user may influence their content by using a "Session" header. This comes from the "HTTP_SESSION" variable name used by mod_session to forward its data to CGIs, since the prefix "HTTP_" is also used by the Apache HTTP Server to pass HTTP header fields, per CGI specifications.
Affected packages (2)
- Alpine/apache2from 0, < 2.4.33-r0
