Synopsis: Moderate: httpd security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2013:0815-1
Issue Date: 2013-05-13
CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-3499
 CVE-2012-4558
 CVE-2013-1862
--

Cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the mod_proxy_balancer
module's manager web interface. If a remote attacker could trick a user,
who was logged into the manager web interface, into visiting a specially-
crafted URL, it would lead to arbitrary web script execution in the
context of the user's manager interface session. (CVE-2012-4558)

It was found that mod_rewrite did not filter terminal escape sequences
from its log file. If mod_rewrite was configured with the RewriteLog
directive, a remote attacker could use specially-crafted HTTP requests to
inject terminal escape sequences into the mod_rewrite log file. If a
victim viewed the log file with a terminal emulator, it could result in
arbitrary command execution with the privileges of that user.
(CVE-2013-1862)

Cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the mod_info, mod_status,
mod_imagemap, mod_ldap, and mod_proxy_ftp modules. An attacker could
possibly use these flaws to perform XSS attacks if they were able to make
the victim's browser generate an HTTP request with a specially-crafted
Host header. (CVE-2012-3499)

After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon will be restarted
automatically.
