Detail
According to David Wagner, iDEFENSE and the Apache HTTP Server Project, several remotely exploitable vulnerabilities have been found in the Apache package, a commonly used webserver. These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to enact a denial of service against a server or execute a cross scripting attack. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project identified the following vulnerabilities: 1. CAN-2002-0839: A vulnerability exists on platforms using System V shared memory based scoreboards. This vulnerability allows an attacker who can execute under the Apache UID to exploit the Apache shared memory scoreboard format and send a signal to any process as root or cause a local denial of service attack. 2. CAN-2002-0840: Apache is susceptible to a cross site scripting vulnerability in the default 404 page of any web server hosted on a domain that allows wildcard DNS lookups. 3. CAN-2002-0843: There were some possible overflows in the utility ApacheBench (ab) which could be exploited by a malicious server. 4. CAN-2002-1233: A race condition in the htpasswd and htdigest program enables a malicious local user to read or even modify the contents of a password file or easily create and overwrite files as the user running the htpasswd (or htdigest respectively) program. 5. CAN-2001-0131: htpasswd and htdigest in Apache 2.0a9, 1.3.14, and others allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack. This is the same vulnerability as CAN-2002-1233, which was fixed in potato already but got lost later and was never applied upstream. 5. NO-CAN: Several buffer overflows have been found in the ApacheBench (ab) utility that could be exploited by a remote server returning very long strings. These problems have been fixed in version 1.3.26-0woody3 for the current stable distribution (woody) and in 1.3.9-14.3 for the old stable distribution (potato). Corrected packages for the unstable distribution (sid) are expected soon. We recommend that you upgrade your Apache package immediately. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.

4553 | Apache HTTP Server ApacheBench Overflow DoS |
4552 | Apache HTTP Server Shared Memory Scoreboard DoS Apache HTTP server contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when a local user with privileges as the Apache UID sends a SIGUSR1 signal to any process as root, resulting in loss of availability of the system. |
862 | Apache HTTP Server SSI Error Page XSS Apache contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate server signature data by Server Side Include (SSI) error pages. This could allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity. |
