CVE-2013-1896  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-264  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:12.04 apache2 to version 2.2.22-1ubuntu1.4 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream apache2 package and not the apache2 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

mod_dav.c in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.2.25 does not properly determine whether DAV is enabled for a URI, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a MERGE request in which the URI is configured for handling by the mod_dav_svn module, but a certain href attribute in XML data refers to a non-DAV URI.
