  • Secunia Advisory 22458
    Apache HTTP Server mod_tcl Format String Vulnerabilities
    • Criticality: High
    • Description: Some vulnerabilities have been reported in the mod_tcl module for Apache HTTP server, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

      The vulnerabilities are caused due to format string errors in tcl_cmds.c and tcl_core.c when calling the "set_var()" function with user-supplied input. This can be exploited by sending a specially crafted request containing format specifiers.
