CVE-2020-1934
Description
A flaw was found in Apache's HTTP server (httpd) .The mod_proxy_ftp module may use uninitialized memory with proxying to a malicious FTP server. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.
Statement
This flaw is caused by use of an uninitialized memory variable. Practically this has no impact, but in some corner cases it is possible that the contents of this variable could be read by a remote process, causing loss of confidentiality as a result of this. There is no evidence of code execution.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
