Fedora Core 6 HTTPD-2.2.4 Critical Advisory: DoS Threats Introduced

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)

A bug was found in the mod_mem_cache module. On sites where

caching is enabled using this module, an information leak

could occur which revealed portions of sensitive memory to

remote users. (CVE-2007-1862)

- add security fixes for CVE-2006-5752, CVE-2007-1862,

CVE-2007-1863, CVE-2007-3304 (#244660)
