Detail
| Problem Description: Updated httpd packages that include fixes for security issues are now available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: The Apache HTTP server is a powerful, full-featured, efficient, and freely-available Web server. Four issues have been discovered affecting releases of the Apache HTTP 2.0 Server, up to and including version 2.0.50: Testing using the Codenomicon HTTP Test Tool performed by the Apache Software Foundation security group and Red Hat uncovered an input validation issue in the IPv6 URI parsing routines in the apr-util library. If a remote attacker sent a request including a carefully crafted URI, an httpd child process could be made to crash. This issue is not believed to allow arbitrary code execution on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This issue also does not represent a significant denial of service attack as requests will continue to be handled by other Apache child processes. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0786 to this issue. The Swedish IT Incident Centre (SITIC) reported a buffer overflow in the expansion of environment variables during configuration file parsing. This issue could allow a local user to gain 'apache' privileges if an httpd process can be forced to parse a carefully crafted .htaccess file written by a local user. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0747 to this issue. An issue was discovered in the mod_ssl module which could be triggered if the server is configured to allow proxying to a remote SSL server. A malicious remote SSL server could force an httpd child process to crash by sending a carefully crafted response header. This issue is not believed to allow execution of arbitrary code. This issue also does not represent a significant Denial of Service attack as requests will continue to be handled by other Apache child processes. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0751 to this issue. An issue was discovered in the mod_dav module which could be triggered for a location where WebDAV authoring access has been configured. A malicious remote client which is authorized to use the LOCK method could force an httpd child process to crash by sending a particular sequence of LOCK requests. This issue does not allow execution of arbitrary code. This issue also does not represent a significant Denial of Service attack as requests will continue to be handled by other Apache child processes. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0809 to this issue. Users of the Apache HTTP server should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches that address these issues. 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.

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)
| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 9994 | Apache HTTP Server apr-util IPV6 Parsing DoS The IPv6 URI parsing routines in the apr-util library for Apache HTTP Server and IBM HTTP Server contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. With a specially crafted URI request, a remote attacker could cause a httpd child process to crash, resulting in a loss of availability for the service. |
| 9991 | Apache HTTP Server ap_resolve_env Environment Variable Local Overflow Apache HTTP Server and IBM HTTP Server contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The issue is triggered when function ap_resolve_env() in server/util.c expands environment variable constructs from configuration files such as .htaccess or httpd.conf. For an attacker to exploit the flaw they would need to carefully craft malicious configuration files and have write access to the legitimate copies. This flaw may lead to a loss of confidentiality. |
| 9948 | mod_dav for Apache HTTP Server LOCK Request DoS Apache mod_dav contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when an attacker sends a particular sequence of LOCK requests and will result in loss of availability for the httpd child process. |
| 9742 | Apache HTTP Server mod_ssl char_buffer_read Function Reverse Proxy DoS Apache contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a remote attacker aborts an SSL connection in a particular state causing an infinite loop to occur. The flaw occurs in ssl_engine_io.c when using a RewriteRule to do reverse proxying to an SSL server. |
