CVE-2013-1862

Publication date 10 June 2013

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

mod_rewrite.c in the mod_rewrite module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.x before 2.2.25 writes data to a log file without sanitizing non-printable characters, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via an HTTP request containing an escape sequence for a terminal emulator.
