Debian Lenny: DSA-2035-1 Critical: Apache2 Multiple Issues

Two issues have been found in the Apache HTTPD web server:

CVE-2010-0408

mod_proxy_ajp would return the wrong status code if it encountered an
error, causing a backend server to be put into an error state until the
retry timeout expired. A remote attacker could send malicious requests
to trigger this issue, resulting in denial of service.

CVE-2010-0434

A flaw in the core subrequest process code was found, which could lead
to a daemon crash (segfault) or disclosure of sensitive information
if the headers of a subrequest were modified by modules such as
mod_headers.


For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.2.9-10+lenny7.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.15-1.

This advisory also provides updated apache2-mpm-itk packages which
have been recompiled against the new apache2 packages.


We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 and apache2-mpm-itk packages.
