Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

Summary

The Red Hat Application Stack v2.2 is an integrated open source application stack, that includes Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 4.2.
This erratum updates the Apache HTTP Server package to version 2.0.10 which addresses the following security issues:
A flaw was found in the mod_proxy module. An attacker who has control of a web server to which requests are being proxied could cause a limited denial of service due to CPU consumption and stack exhaustion. (CVE-2008-2364)
A flaw was found in the mod_proxy_ftp module. Where Apache is configured to support ftp-over-httpd proxying, a remote attacker could perform a cross-site scripting attack. (CVE-2008-2939)
A cross-site request forgery issue was found in the mod_proxy_balancer module. A remote attacker could cause a denial of service if mod_proxy_balancer is enabled and an authenticated user is targeted. (CVE-2007-6420)
The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 4.2 has been updated to version 4.2.0.CP05.
The following packages were also updated:
* mysql to 5.0.60sp1 * mysql-connector-odbc to 3.51.26r1127 * perl-DBI to 1.607 * perl-DBD-MySQL to 4.008 * perl-DBD-Pg to 1.49 * php-pear to 1.7.2 * postgresql to 8.2.11 * postgresqlclient81 to 8.1.11
