{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2017-9788","details":"In Apache httpd before 2.2.34 and 2.4.x before 2.4.27, the value placeholder in [Proxy-]Authorization headers of type 'Digest' was not initialized or reset before or between successive key=value assignments by mod_auth_digest. Providing an initial key with no '=' assignment could reflect the stale value of uninitialized pool memory used by the prior request, leading to leakage of potentially confidential information, and a segfault in other cases resulting in denial of service.","modified":"2026-04-22T11:38:19.567531Z","published":"2017-07-13T00:00:00Z","related":["USN-3370-1","USN-3370-2"],"upstream":["CVE-2017-9788"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2017-9788"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_22.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/0dd69204a6bd643cc4e9ccd008f07a9375525d977c6ebeb07a881afb@%3Cannounce.httpd.apache.org%3E"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-3370-1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-3370-2"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2017-9788"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"apache2","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/apache2@2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17?arch=source&distro=trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17"}]}],"versions":["2.4.6-2ubuntu2","2.4.6-2ubuntu3","2.4.6-2ubuntu4","2.4.7-1ubuntu1","2.4.7-1ubuntu2","2.4.7-1ubuntu3","2.4.7-1ubuntu4","2.4.7-1ubuntu4.1","2.4.7-1ubuntu4.4","2.4.7-1ubuntu4.5","2.4.7-1ubuntu4.6","2.4.7-1ubuntu4.7","2.4.7-1ubuntu4.8","2.4.7-1ubuntu4.9","2.4.7-1ubuntu4.10","2.4.7-1ubuntu4.11","2.4.7-1ubuntu4.13","2.4.7-1ubuntu4.15","2.4.7-1ubuntu4.16"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17","binary_name":"apache2"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17","binary_name":"apache2-bin"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17","binary_name":"apache2-data"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17","binary_name":"apache2-mpm-event"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17","binary_name":"apache2-mpm-itk"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17","binary_name":"apache2-mpm-prefork"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17","binary_name":"apache2-mpm-worker"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17","binary_name":"apache2-suexec"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17","binary_name":"apache2-suexec-custom"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17","binary_name":"apache2-suexec-pristine"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17","binary_name":"apache2-utils"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17","binary_name":"apache2.2-bin"},{"binary_version":"1:2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17","binary_name":"libapache2-mod-macro"},{"binary_version":"1:2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17","binary_name":"libapache2-mod-proxy-html"}],"availability":"No subscription required"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2017/UBUNTU-CVE-2017-9788.json"}},{"package":{"name":"apache2","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/apache2@2.4.18-2ubuntu3.4?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.4.18-2ubuntu3.4"}]}],"versions":["2.4.12-2ubuntu2","2.4.17-1ubuntu1","2.4.17-2ubuntu1","2.4.17-3ubuntu1","2.4.18-1ubuntu1","2.4.18-2ubuntu1","2.4.18-2ubuntu2","2.4.18-2ubuntu3","2.4.18-2ubuntu3.1","2.4.18-2ubuntu3.2","2.4.18-2ubuntu3.3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.4.18-2ubuntu3.4","binary_name":"apache2"},{"binary_version":"2.4.18-2ubuntu3.4","binary_name":"apache2-bin"},{"binary_version":"2.4.18-2ubuntu3.4","binary_name":"apache2-data"},{"binary_version":"2.4.18-2ubuntu3.4","binary_name":"apache2-suexec-custom"},{"binary_version":"2.4.18-2ubuntu3.4","binary_name":"apache2-suexec-pristine"},{"binary_version":"2.4.18-2ubuntu3.4","binary_name":"apache2-utils"}],"availability":"No subscription required"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2017/UBUNTU-CVE-2017-9788.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
