Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the ssl_util_uuencode_binary function in ssl_engine_kernel.c in mod_ssl for Apache 1.3.x. When mod_ssl is configured to trust the issuing CA, a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code via a client certificate with a long subject DN.
