Detail
| A vulnerability has been found in the Apache HTTPD Server: CVE-2012-4557 A flaw was found when mod_proxy_ajp connects to a backend server that takes too long to respond. Given a specific configuration, a remote attacker could send certain requests, putting a backend server into an error state until the retry timeout expired. This could lead to a temporary denial of service. In addition, this update also adds a server side mitigation for the following issue: CVE-2012-4929 If using SSL/TLS data compression with HTTPS in an connection to a web browser, man-in-the-middle attackers may obtain plaintext HTTP headers. This issue is known as the "CRIME" attack. This update of apache2 disables SSL compression by default. A new SSLCompression directive has been backported that may be used to re-enable SSL data compression in environments where the "CRIME" attack is not an issue. For more information, please refer to: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslcompression For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.16-6+squeeze10. For the testing distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.22-12. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.22-12. We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 packages. |

| Description: | Juliano Rizzo and Thai Duong discovered a weakness in the TLS/SSL protocol when using compression. This side channel attack, dubbed <q>CRIME</q>, allows eavesdroppers to gather information to recover the original plaintext in the protocol. This update to nginx disables SSL compression. | ||

| Description: | The TLS protocol 1.2 and earlier, as used in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Qt, and other products, can encrypt compressed data without properly obfuscating the length of the unencrypted data, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain plaintext HTTP headers by observing length differences during a series of guesses in which a string in an HTTP request potentially matches an unknown string in an HTTP header, aka a "CRIME" attack. | ||
