Detail

Problem Description:

Updated httpd packages that fix multiple security issues, various bugs, and add enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

3. Description:

The httpd packages contain the Apache HTTP Server (httpd), which is the namesake project of The Apache Software Foundation.

Input sanitization flaws were found in the mod_negotiation module. A remote attacker able to upload or create files with arbitrary names in a directory that has the MultiViews options enabled, could use these flaws to conduct cross-site scripting and HTTP response splitting attacks against users visiting the site. (CVE-2008-0455, CVE-2008-0456, CVE-2012-2687)

Bug fixes:

* Previously, no check was made to see if the /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key file was a valid key prior to running the "%post" script for the "mod_ssl" package. Consequently, when /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt did not exist and "localhost.key" was present but invalid, upgrading the Apache HTTP Server daemon (httpd) with mod_ssl failed. The "%post" script has been fixed to test for an existing SSL key. As a result, upgrading httpd with mod_ssl now proceeds as expected. (BZ#752618)

* The "mod_ssl" module did not support operation under FIPS mode. Consequently, when operating Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 with FIPS mode enabled, httpd failed to start. An upstream patch has been applied to disable non-FIPS functionality if operating under FIPS mode and httpd now starts as expected. (BZ#773473)

* Prior to this update, httpd exit status codes were not Linux Standard Base (LSB) compliant. When the command "service httpd reload" was run and httpd failed, the exit status code returned was "0" and not in the range 1 to 6 as expected. A patch has been applied to the init script and httpd now returns "1" as an exit status code. (BZ#783242)

* Chunked Transfer Coding is described in RFC 261
