The mod_throttle Apache module is said to be prone to a vulnerability that could allow for local privilege elevation. The problem occurs due to the mod_throttle module incorrectly storing critical data within shared memory that is accessible by a user with 'apache' privileges. As a result, an attacker may be capable of corrupting memory pointers and a data file located in a shared memory segment. This could ultimately lead to privilege elevation on the local system.
