Mark Dowd, of McAffee Avert Labs, discovered a potential remotely

exploitable off-by-one flaw in Apache's mod_rewrite ldap scheme

handling.

 

In order for this to be exploitable, a number of conditions need to be

met including a) running a vulnerable version of Apache (1.3.28+,

2.0.46+, or 2.2.0+), B) enabling mod_rewrite, c) having a rewrite

rule that the remote user can influence the beginning of, and d) a

particular stack frame layout.

 

By default, RewriteEngine is not enabled in Mandriva Linux Apache

packages, and no RewriteRules are defined.

 

Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
