Fedora Core 5: FEDORA-2006-863 Critical: Httpd Mod_Rewrite Exploit

fedora

Dist Fedora Esm H88
Resolves a vulnerability in the mod_security module of Apache affecting CentOS 5, addressing a possible exploit flagged by Symantec.
This update fixes a security issue in the mod_rewrite module

Summary

The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful, efficient, and extensible

web server.

This update fixes a security issue in the mod_rewrite module.

Mark Dowd of McAfee Avert Labs reported an off-by-one

security problem in the LDAP scheme handling of the

mod_rewrite module. Where RewriteEngine was enabled, and for

certain RewriteRules, this could lead to a pointer being

written out of bounds. (CVE-2006-3747)

The ability to exploit this issue is dependent on the stack

layout for a particular compiled version of mod_rewrite.

The Fedora project has analyzed Fedora Core 4 and 5 binaries

and determined that these distributions are vulnerable to

this issue. However this flaw does not affect a default

installation of Fedora Core; users who do not use, or have

not enabled, the Rewrite module are not affected by this

issue.
