Slackware: 2022-093-04 Moderate: Nginx Denial Of Service Mitigation

slackware
Calendar Grey February 11, 2011
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Latest httpd updates for Slackware address serious security flaws. Upgrade today to enhance web server protection.
New httpd packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, and -current to fix security issues

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 13.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/httpd-2.2.17-i486-1_slack13.1.txz: Upgraded. This fixes some denial of service bugs in the bundled libraries. On Slackware we do not use the bundled expat or apr-util, so the issues are also fixed in those external libraries. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-3560 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-3720 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2010-1623 (* Security fix *)

Where Find New Packages

HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com? Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading directly from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-)
Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://www.slackware.com/ for additional mirror sites near you.
