CVE-2005-1344 Information

Description

Buffer overflow in htdigest in Apache 2.0.52 may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long realm argument. NOTE: since htdigest is normally only locally accessible and not setuid or setgid there are few attack vectors which would lead to an escalation of privileges unless htdigest is executed from a CGI program. Therefore this may not be a vulnerability.
