MandrakeSoft Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:063 : apache2

 

May 30th, 2003

Updated apache2 packages fix vulnerabilities

 

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in the Apache web server that affect all 2.x versions prior to 2.0.46. The first, discovered by John Hughes, is a build system problem that allows remote attackers to prevent access to authenticated content when a threaded server is used. This only affects versions of Apache compiled with threaded server "httpd.worker", which is not the default for Mandrake Linux.

 

The second vulnerability, discovered by iDefense, allows remote attackers to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) condition and may also allow the execution of arbitrary code.

 

The provided packages include back-ported fixes to correct these vulnerabilities and MandrakeSoft encourages all users to upgrade immediately.

 

 

The released versions of Mandrake GNU/Linux affected are:

  • 9.1

 

[*] 9.1/PPC
