Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Apache HTTP Server.

Software Description: - apache2: Apache HTTP server

Details:

Marek Kroemeke discovered that the mod_proxy module incorrectly handled certain requests. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the server to stop responding, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-0117)

Giancarlo Pellegrino and Davide Balzarotti discovered that the mod_deflate module incorrectly handled body decompression. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause resource consumption, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2014-0118)

Marek Kroemeke and others discovered that the mod_status module incorrectly handled certain requests. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the server to stop responding, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-0226)

Rainer Jung discovered that the mod_cgid module incorrectly handled certain scripts. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the server to stop responding, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2014-0231)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
apache2-bin 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
apache2.2-bin 2.2.22-1ubuntu1.7

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
apache2.2-bin 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.14

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

Title: RHSA-2014:0921: httpd security update (Important)
Description: The httpd packages provide the Apache HTTP Server, a powerful, efficient, and extensible web server. A race condition flaw, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, was found in the mod_status httpd module. A remote attacker able to access a status page served by mod_status on a server using a threaded Multi-Processing Module (MPM) could send a specially crafted request that would cause the httpd child process to crash or, possibly, allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the "apache" user. (CVE-2014-0226) A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the mod_cache httpd module. A malicious HTTP server could cause the httpd child process to crash when the Apache HTTP Server was used as a forward proxy with caching. (CVE-2013-4352) A denial of service flaw was found in the mod_proxy httpd module. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request to a server configured as a reverse proxy using a threaded Multi-Processing Modules (MPM) that would cause the httpd child process to crash. (CVE-2014-0117) A denial of service flaw was found in the way httpd's mod_deflate module handled request body decompression (configured via the "DEFLATE" input filter). A remote attacker able to send a request whose body would be decompressed could use this flaw to consume an excessive amount of system memory and CPU on the target system. (CVE-2014-0118) A denial of service flaw was found in the way httpd's mod_cgid module executed CGI scripts that did not read data from the standard input. A remote attacker could submit a specially crafted request that would cause the httpd child process to hang indefinitely. (CVE-2014-0231) All httpd users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon will be restarted automatically.

Title: HP-UX Apache Server Suite running Apache Tomcat or PHP, Remote Denial of Service (DoS) and Other Vulnerabilities
Description: Race condition in the mod_status module in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.4.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow), or possibly obtain sensitive credential information or execute arbitrary code, via a crafted request that triggers improper scoreboard handling within the status_handler function in modules/generators/mod_status.c and the lua_ap_scoreboard_worker function in modules/lua/lua_request.c.

Description: The deflate_in_filter function in mod_deflate.c in the mod_deflate module in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.4.10, when request body decompression is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via crafted request data that decompresses to a much larger size.
