Background ========== The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the internet. mod_include is an Apache module to handle Server Side Includes (SSI). Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-www/apache < 1.3.32-r1 >= 1.3.32-r1 Description =========== A possible buffer overflow exists in the get_tag() function of mod_include.c. Impact ====== If Server Side Includes (SSI) are enabled, a local attacker may be able to run arbitrary code with the rights of an httpd child process by making use of a specially-crafted document with malformed SSI. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Apache users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-www/apache-1.3.32-r1" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2004-0940 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0940 [ 2 ] Security vulnerabilities in Apache httpd 1.3 http://www.apacheweek.com/features/security-13 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200411-03.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
