28

FAUCET Score

CVE-2018-1301 describes an out-of-bounds access vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server versions prior to 2.4.30, triggered by a specially crafted HTTP header that could lead to a server crash. This medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.9) has a high attack complexity, making it difficult to exploit in non-debug environments, and primarily impacts availability. There is no known active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion, indicating a low practical risk despite its presence in products from vendors like Canonical and Red Hat.
