Upstream information

CVE-2012-0883 at MITRE

Description

envvars (aka envvars-std) in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.4.2 places a zero-length directory name in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DSO in the current working directory during execution of apachectl.

SUSE information

Overall state of this security issue: Resolved

This issue is currently rated as having moderate severity.

CVSS v2 Scores
  National Vulnerability Database
Base Score 6.9
Vector AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Integrity Impact Complete
Availability Impact Complete

Note from the SUSE Security Team

The problematic setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH only affects scripts called locally by the Apache administrator and can not be exploited remotely. If the Apache administrator e.g. calls apachectl in a attacker controlled directory a library could be injected. The issue itself exists in all our products.
