CVE-2012-0216

Publication date 22 April 2012

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The default configuration of the apache2 package in Debian GNU/Linux squeeze before 2.2.16-6+squeeze7, wheezy before 2.2.22-4, and sid before 2.2.22-4, when mod_php or mod_rivet is used, provides example scripts under the doc/ URI, which might allow local users to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, gain privileges, or obtain sensitive information via vectors involving localhost HTTP requests to the Apache HTTP Server.

Notes

fixing this requires a conf file change, which we try not to do in security updates. Marking as ignored since we will not fix this in stable releases. Workaround is simply for the admin to remove the doc directory in the conf files.
