Detail
| Problem Description: An updated mod_ssl package for Apache that fixes a format string vulnerability is now available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386 3. Problem description: The mod_ssl module provides strong cryptography for the Apache Web server via the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. A format string issue was discovered in mod_ssl for Apache 1.3 which can be triggered if mod_ssl is configured to allow a client to proxy to remote SSL sites. In order to exploit this issue, a user who is authorized to use Apache as a proxy would have to attempt to connect to a carefully crafted hostname via SSL. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0700 to this issue. Users of mod_ssl should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command: up2date For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/ 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ for more info): 128170 - CAN-2004-0700 mod_ssl format string vulnerability |

| 7929 | Apache HTTP Server mod_ssl ssl_engine_log.c mod_proxy Hook Function Remote Fo... The mod_ssl ssl_log function in Apache contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary messages. The issue is triggered due to a ssl_log() format string error within the 'mod_proxy' hook functions. It is possible that the flaw may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary messages via format string specifiers in certain log messages for HTTPS resulting in a loss of integrity. |
