Description
A carefully crafted request body can cause a buffer overflow in the mod_lua multipart parser (r:parsebody() called from Lua scripts). The Apache httpd team is not aware of an exploit for the vulnerabilty though it might be possible to craft one. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server 2.4.51 and earlier.
A buffer overflow flaw in httpd's lua module could allow an out-of-bounds write. An attacker who is able to submit a crafted request to an httpd instance that is using the lua module may be able to cause an impact to confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability.
