Format string vulnerability in the mod_proxy hook functions function in ssl_engine_log.c in mod_ssl before 2.8.19 for Apache before 1.3.31 may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary messages via format string specifiers in certain log messages for HTTPS that are handled by the ssl_log function.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2004-0700 affects legacy Apache 1.3 deployments using mod_ssl before 2.8.19. A remotely supplied HTTPS condition could reach unsafe logging behavior and misuse format string handling. The business risk is mainly for old or embedded web servers that still expose HTTPS; modern maintained Apache lines are unlikely to be affected. Exposure is most plausible in legacy Apache 1.3 systems, old Linux distribution packages, appliances, or frozen server images still using vulnerable mod_ssl. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete, so asset validation should rely on installed package versions and vendor advisories. Treat this as a legacy-system cleanup priority. It is old, but remotely reachable HTTPS services running unsupported Apache/mod_ssl can carry disproportionate risk and should be upgraded or isolated promptly. Mitigation focus: Upgrade to mod_ssl 2.8.19 or later where Apache 1.3 remains in use.; Upgrade Apache to 1.3.31 or a vendor-patched package.; Retire unsupported Apache 1.3 systems where feasible..
