Summary

Koozali SME Server from version 11.0rc1-215 is affected by improper input validation (CWE-20) in its domain creation functionality. An attacker with high privileges can inject reserved Apache configuration directives that corrupt httpd.conf. Apache then fails to start after a server reboot, denying service to the web server and its hosted virtual hosts.
