-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] Apache httpd (SSA:2006-129-01) New Apache packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and -current to fix security issues. More details about the issues may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3352 In addition, new mod_ssl packages for Apache 1.3.35 are available for all of these versions of Slackware, and new versions of PHP are available for Slackware -current. These additional packages do not fix security issues, but may be required on your system depending on your Apache setup. One more note about this round of updates: the packages have been given build versions that indicate which version of Slackware they are meant to patch, such as -1_slack8.1, or -1_slack9.0, etc. This should help to avoid some of the issues with automatic upgrade tools by providing a unique package name when the same fix is deployed across multiple Slackware versions. Only patches applied to -current will have the simple build number, such as -1. Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/apache-1.3.35-i486-1_slack10.2.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.35. From the official announcement: Of particular note is that 1.3.35 addresses and fixes 1 potential security issue: CVE-2005-3352 (cve.mitre.org) mod_imap: Escape untrusted referer header before outputting in HTML to avoid potential cross-site scripting. Change also made to ap_escape_html so we escape quotes. Reported by JPCERT For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3352 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.26_1.3.35-i486-1_slack10.2.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.26-1.3.35.

The upgrade should save the important config files for mod_ssl, nevertheless it's a good idea to backup any keys/certificates you wish to save for mod_ssl (in /etc/apache/ssl.*), then upgrade mod_ssl: # upgradepkg mod_ssl-2.8.26_1.3.35-i486-1_slack10.2.tgz If necessary, restore any mod_ssl config files. If you are using PHP on Slackware -current, upgrade the PHP package. Finally, restart apache: # apachectl start Or, if you use mod_ssl: # apachectl startssl +-----+ Slackware Linux Security Team http://slackware.com/gpg-key security@slackware.com +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | To leave the slackware-security mailing list: | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Send an email to majordomo@slackware.com with this text in the body of | | the email message: | | | | unsubscribe slackware-security | | | | You will get a confirmation message back containing instructions to | | complete the process.
