The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the apr_encode() function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


2) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24998)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

4) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28709)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fox for #VU72427 (CVE-2023-24998). If non-default HTTP connector settings were used such that the maxParameterCount could be reached using query string parameters and a request was submitted that supplied exactly maxParameterCount parameters in the query string, the limit for uploaded request parts could be bypassed. A remote attacker can initiate a series of uploads and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
