Description

In Apache httpd before 2.2.34 and 2.4.x before 2.4.27, the value placeholder in [Proxy-]Authorization headers of type 'Digest' was not initialized or reset before or between successive key=value assignments by mod_auth_digest. Providing an initial key with no '=' assignment could reflect the stale value of uninitialized pool memory used by the prior request, leading to leakage of potentially confidential information, and a segfault in other cases resulting in denial of service.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

v ≤ 2.2.332.2.0 ≤ v ≤ 2.2.332.4.0 ≤ v ≤ 2.4.262.4.1 ≤ v ≤ 2.4.26
v < 10.13.1
Affected range stops below 10.13.1, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
