Memory corruption via regex substitution overflow
Published Jul 29, 2026 · Updated Jul 29, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Apache Traffic Server's regex_remap plugin allows remote attackers to corrupt memory via crafted URLs. The plugin expands request-derived regex capture substitutions without preventing stack and integer overflow; Apache has not disclosed the exact faulty copy or arithmetic operation. Exploitation requires regex_remap on a reachable remap rule, and successful corruption compromises process confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=10.0.0 <=10.1.3
- Affected versionversion=8.0.0 <=8.1.9
- Affected versionversion=9.0.0 <=9.2.14
