Background ========== The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the Internet. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-servers/apache < 2.2.8 >= 2.2.8 Description =========== Adrian Pastor and Amir Azam (ProCheckUp) reported that the HTTP Method specifier header is not properly sanitized when the HTTP return code is "413 Request Entity too large" (CVE-2007-6203). The mod_proxy_balancer module does not properly check the balancer name before using it (CVE-2007-6422). The mod_proxy_ftp does not define a charset in its answers (CVE-2008-0005). Stefano Di Paola (Minded Security) reported that filenames are not properly sanitized within the mod_negociation module (CVE-2008-0455, CVE-2008-0456). Impact ====== A remote attacker could entice a user to visit a malicious URL or send specially crafted HTTP requests (i.e using Adobe Flash) to perform Cross-Site Scripting and HTTP response splitting attacks, or conduct a Denial of Service attack on the vulnerable web server. 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 ">=www-servers/apache-2.2.8" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-6203 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6203 [ 2 ] CVE-2007-6422 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6422 [ 3 ] CVE-2008-0005 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0005 [ 4 ] CVE-2008-0455 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0455 [ 5 ] CVE-2008-0456 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0456 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200803-19.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.
