-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated httpd packages fix a security issue and bugs Advisory ID: RHSA-2004:562-01 Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2004-562.html Issue date: 2004-11-12 Updated on: 2004-11-12 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux CVE Names: CAN-2004-0885 CAN-2004-0942 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Summary: Updated httpd packages that include fixes for two security issues, as well as other bugs, are now available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: The Apache HTTP server is a powerful, full-featured, efficient, and freely-available Web server. An issue has been discovered in the mod_ssl module when configured to use the "SSLCipherSuite" directive in directory or location context. If a particular location context has been configured to require a specific set of cipher suites, then a client will be able to access that location using any cipher suite allowed by the virtual host configuration. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0885 to this issue. An issue has been discovered in the handling of white space in request header lines using MIME folding. A malicious client could send a carefully crafted request, forcing the server to consume large amounts of memory, leading to a denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0942 to this issue. Several minor bugs were also discovered, including: - - In the mod_cgi module, problems that arise when CGI scripts are invoked from SSI pages by mod_include using the "#include virtual" syntax have been fixed. - - In the mod_dav_fs module, problems with the handling of indirect locks on the S/390x platform have been fixed. Users of the Apache HTTP server who are affected by these issues should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command: up2date For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/ 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ for more info): 132593 - mod_dav_fs: indirect lock refresh broken on s390x 134825 - CAN-2004-0885 SSLCipherSuite bypass 138064 - CAN-2004-0942 Memory consumption DoS 6.
