Summary
-------
This is a proof of concept exploit for Apache/1.3.x + php_4.0.6. This
code exploit multipart/form-data POST requests bug. This code only crash
apache deamon, not open any shell or execute code in the remote server.
PHP supports multipart/form-data POST requests (as described in RFC1867)
known as POST fileuploads. Unfourtunately there are several flaws in the
php_mime_split function that could be used by an attacker to execute arbi-
trary code. I dont know if the vuln I exploit is a known vuln or not.
Example:
-------
<quote>
[gabi@pluto logs]$ ./apache_php host 80 hi.php
[gabi@pluto logs]$ cat /www/logs/error_log
[Sun Mar 3 02:50:36 2002] [notice] child pid 26856 exit signal Segmentation
fault (11)
[gabi@pluto logs]$
</quote>
Greets:
------
A special greets to Fernando Oubi#a and Sebastian Brocher, good friend of
mime.
A very special greets for a good friend and an excellent Security
Consultant Alex Hernandez!!!
