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 |
