Last modified

CVE-2017-7668 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The HTTP strict parsing changes added in Apache httpd 2.2.32 and 2.4.24 introduced a bug in token list parsing, which allows ap_find_token() to search past the end of its input string. By maliciously crafting a sequence of request headers, an attacker may be able to cause a segmentation fault, or to force ap_find_token() to return an incorrect value.. EPSS estimates a 57.47% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
