Description

This module exploits the mod_rewrite LDAP protocol scheme handling
flaw discovered by Mark Dowd, which produces an off-by-one overflow.
Apache versions 1.3.29-36, 2.0.47-58, and 2.2.1-2 are vulnerable.
This module requires REWRITEPATH to be set accurately. In addition,
the target must have 'RewriteEngine on' configured, with a specific
'RewriteRule' condition enabled to allow for exploitation.

The flaw affects multiple platforms, however this module currently
only supports Windows based installations.
