Fedora Core 5: 2007-617 Critical: Apache Denial of Service Attack

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

web server.

The Apache HTTP Server did not verify that a process was an

Apache child process before sending it signals. A local

attacker with the ability to run scripts on the Apache HTTP

Server could manipulate the scoreboard and cause arbitrary

processes to be terminated which could lead to a denial of

service (CVE-2007-3304). This issue is not exploitable on

Fedora if using the default SELinux targeted policy.

A flaw was found in the Apache HTTP Server mod_status

module. On sites where the server-status page is publicly

accessible and ExtendedStatus is enabled this could lead to

a cross-site scripting attack. On Fedora the server-status

page is not enabled by default and it is best practice to

not make this publicly available. (CVE-2006-5752)

A bug was found in the Apache HTTP Server mod_cache module.

On sites where caching is enabled, a remote attacker could

send a carefully crafted request that would cause the Apache

child process handling that request to crash. This could

lead to a denial of service if using a threaded

Multi-Processing Module. (CVE-2007-1863)
