aru Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 MandrakeSoft Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:050 : apache2 April 22nd, 2003 Updated apache packages fix denial of service vulnerabilities A memory leak was discovered in Apache 2.0 through 2.0.44 that can allow a remote attacker to cause a significant denial of service (DoS) by sending requests containing a lot of linefeed characters to the server. As well, Apache does not filter terminal escape sequences from its log files, which could make it easy for an attacker to insert those sequences into the error and access logs, which could possibly be viewed by certain terminal emulators with vulnerabilities related to escape sequences. After upgrading these packages, be sure to restart the httpd server by executing: service httpd restart The released versions of Mandrake GNU/Linux affected are: 9.1 [*] 9.1/PPC Full information about this advisory, including the updated packages, is available at: www.mandrakesecure.net/en/advisories/advisory.php?name=MDKSA-2003:050 Other references: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?n...e=CAN-2003-0020 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?n...e=CAN-2003-0083 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?n...e=CAN-2003-0132 Posted automatically by aru (mdksec2mub v0.0.5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
