CVE-2023-31122 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability found in the `mod_macro` module of the Apache HTTP Server. This vulnerability affects Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.57 and earlier. When processing a long macro, the module fails to add a null byte terminator. This oversight leads to an out-of-bounds read. Exploiting this vulnerability may cause a server crash. While the provided sources mention the potential for remote code execution, directory traversal, and command injection, other sources primarily describe the impact as a denial-of-service vulnerability due to the server crash. Upgrading to Apache HTTP Server version 2.4.58 or later mitigates this vulnerability.
