CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

PACKAGE   : apache
SUMMARY   : Fix for some vulnerabilities
DATE      : 2003-11-05 19:18:00
ID        : CLA-2003:775
RELEVANT
RELEASES  : 7.0, 8, 9

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION
 Apache[1] is the most popular webserver in use today.
 
 New versions of the Apache web server have been made available[2][3]
 with the following security fixes:
 
 1. Buffer overflow in mod_alias and mod_rewrite (CAN-2003-0542) [4]
 A buffer overflow could occur in mod_alias and mod_rewrite when a
 regular expression with more than 9 captures is configured. Users who
 can create or modify configuration files (httpd.conf or .htaccess,
 for example) could trigger this. This vulnerability affects Apache
 1.3.x and Apache 2.0.x.
 
 2. mod_cgid mishandling of CGI redirect paths (CAN-2003-0789) [5]
 mod_cgid mishandling of CGI redirect paths could result in CGI output
 going to the wrong client when a threaded MPM is used. The packages
 provided with Conectiva Linux 9 are not vulnerable to this issue
 because  they are not compiled with that MPM, but the fix has been
 included because new packages for Conectiva Linux 9 were already
 being built for the suexec problem (see below).
 
 In addition to the above security fixes, "suexec" has been correctly
 built in the Conectiva Linux 9 packages, fixing[6] the problem where
 CGI scripts could not be run from the user's home directory.


SOLUTION
 It is recommended that all Apache users upgrade their packages.
 
 IMPORTANT: it is necessary to manually restart the httpd server after
 upgrading the packages. In order to do this, execute the following as
 root:
 
 service httpd stop
 
 (wait a few seconds and check with "pidof httpd" if there are any
 httpd processes running. On a busy webserver this could take a little
 longer)
 
 service httpd start
