{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2018-1283","details":"In Apache httpd 2.4.0 to 2.4.29, when mod_session is configured to forward its session data to CGI applications (SessionEnv on, not the default), a remote user may influence their content by using a \"Session\" header. This comes from the \"HTTP_SESSION\" variable name used by mod_session to forward its data to CGIs, since the prefix \"HTTP_\" is also used by the Apache HTTP Server to pass HTTP header fields, per CGI specifications.","modified":"2026-02-04T04:09:48.617523Z","published":"2018-03-26T00:00:00Z","related":["USN-3627-1","USN-3627-2"],"upstream":["CVE-2018-1283"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2018-1283"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2018/03/24/4"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-3627-1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-3627-2"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2018-1283"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"apache2","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/apache2@2.4.7-1ubuntu4.20?arch=source&distro=trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.20"}]}],"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","2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17","2.4.7-1ubuntu4.18","2.4.7-1ubuntu4.19"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.20","binary_name":"apache2"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.20","binary_name":"apache2-bin"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.20","binary_name":"apache2-data"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.20","binary_name":"apache2-dev"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.20","binary_name":"apache2-mpm-event"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.20","binary_name":"apache2-mpm-itk"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.20","binary_name":"apache2-mpm-prefork"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.20","binary_name":"apache2-mpm-worker"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.20","binary_name":"apache2-suexec"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.20","binary_name":"apache2-suexec-custom"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.20","binary_name":"apache2-suexec-pristine"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.20","binary_name":"apache2-utils"},{"binary_version":"2.4.7-1ubuntu4.20","binary_name":"apache2.2-bin"},{"binary_version":"1:2.4.7-1ubuntu4.20","binary_name":"libapache2-mod-macro"},{"binary_version":"1:2.4.7-1ubuntu4.20","binary_name":"libapache2-mod-proxy-html"}],"availability":"No
