Fedora Core 4: FEDORA-2006-052 Critical: Apache HTTP DoS And XSS Risks

The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful, full-featured, efficient, and

freely-available Web server. The Apache HTTP Server is also the

most popular Web server on the Internet.

This update includes fixes for three security issues in the

Apache HTTP Server.

A memory leak in the worker MPM could allow remote attackers

to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via

aborted connections, which prevents the memory for the

transaction pool from being reused for other connections.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned

the name CVE-2005-2970 to this issue. This vulnerability

only affects users who are using the non-default worker MPM.

A flaw in mod_imap when using the Referer directive with

image maps was discovered. With certain site configurations,

a remote attacker could perform a cross-site scripting

attack if a victim can be forced to visit a malicious URL

using certain web browsers. (CVE-2005-3352)

A NULL pointer dereference flaw in mod_ssl was discovered

affecting server configurations where an SSL virtual host is

configured with access control and a custom 400 error

document. A remote attacker could send a carefully

crafted request to trigger this issue which would lead to a

crash. This crash would only be a denial of service if using

the non-default worker MPM. (CVE-2005-3357)

- mod_ssl: add security fix for HTTP-on-SSL-port handling (CVE-2005-3357)

- mod_imap: add security fix for XSS issue (CVE-2005-3352)

- worker MPM: add security fix for memory consumption DoS (CVE-2005-2970),

and bug fixes for handling resource allocation failures (#171759)

- mod_ssl: buffer request bodies for per-location renegotiation (upstream #12355)
