Debian: DSA 188-1 Critical: Apache-SSL Denial of Service and XSS

According to David Wagner, iDEFENSE and the Apache HTTP Server
Project, several vulnerabilities have been found in the Apache
package, a commonly used webserver. Most of the code is shared
between the Apache and Apache-SSL packages, so vulnerabilities are
shared as well. These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to
enact a denial of service against a server or execute a cross
scripting attack, or steal cookies from other web site users.
Vulnerabilities in the included lecacy programs htdigest, htpasswd and
ApacheBench can be exploited when called via CGI. Additionally the
insecure temporary file creation in htdigest and htpasswd can also be
exploited locally. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)
project identified the following vulnerabilities:

1. CAN-2002-0839: A vulnerability exists on platforms using System V
shared memory based scoreboards. This vulnerability allows an
attacker to execute code under the Apache UID to exploit the Apache
shared memory scoreboard forma...
