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  crash
 apache deamon, 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.  Unfourtunately there  are  several flaws in the
php_mime_split function that could be used by an attacker to execute  arbi-
trary code. I dont know if the vuln I exploit is a known vuln or not.

Example:
-------

<quote>
[gabi@pluto logs]$ ./apache_php host 80 hi.php
[gabi@pluto logs]$ cat /www/logs/error_log

[Sun Mar  3 02:50:36 2002] [notice] child pid 26856 exit signal Segmentation
 fault (11)

Greets:
------
A special greets to Fernando Oubi#a and Sebastian Brocher, good friend  of
mime.
 
A very   special  greets for a  good   friend  and an excellent Security 
Consultant Alex Hernandez!!!
