Slackware 10.2: SSA-2006-209-01 Moderate: Mod_Rewrite Security Fix

slackware
Calendar Grey July 29, 2006
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Latest Apache updates for Slackware resolve mod_rewrite complications. Update now for improved safety and performance. Find full information here.
New Apache packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and -current to fix a security issue with mod_rewrite

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/apache-1.3.37-i486-1_slack10.2.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.37. From the announcement on httpd.apache.org: This version of Apache is security fix release only. An off-by-one flaw exists in the Rewrite module, mod_rewrite, as shipped with Apache 1.3 since 1.3.28, 2.0 since 2.0.46, and 2.2 since 2.2.0. The Slackware Security Team feels that the vast majority of installations will not be configured in a vulnerable way but still suggests upgrading to the new apache and mod_ssl packages for maximum security. For more details, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2006-3747 And see Apache's announcement here: (* Security fix *) patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.28_1.3.37-i486-1_slack10.2.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.28-1.3.37.
