Synopsis |
| 19 |
======== |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Apache. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Background |
| 24 |
========== |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the |
| 27 |
Internet. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Affected packages |
| 30 |
================= |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 33 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
| 34 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 35 |
1 www-servers/apache < 2.2.8 >= 2.2.8 |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Description |
| 38 |
=========== |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Adrian Pastor and Amir Azam (ProCheckUp) reported that the HTTP Method |
| 41 |
specifier header is not properly sanitized when the HTTP return code is |
| 42 |
"413 Request Entity too large" (CVE-2007-6203). The mod_proxy_balancer |
| 43 |
module does not properly check the balancer name before using it |
| 44 |
(CVE-2007-6422). The mod_proxy_ftp does not define a charset in its |
| 45 |
answers (CVE-2008-0005). Stefano Di Paola (Minded Security) reported |
| 46 |
that filenames are not properly sanitized within the mod_negociation |
| 47 |
module (CVE-2008-0455, CVE-2008-0456). |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Impact |
| 50 |
====== |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to visit a malicious URL or send |
| 53 |
specially crafted HTTP requests (i.e using Adobe Flash) to perform |
| 54 |
Cross-Site Scripting and HTTP response splitting attacks, or conduct a |
| 55 |
Denial of Service attack on the vulnerable web server. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Workaround |
| 58 |
========== |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Resolution |
| 63 |
========== |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
All Apache users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
# emerge --sync |
| 68 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/apache-2.2.8" |
| 69 |
|
