Slackware 14.0, 14.1: SSA:2014-086-02 Critical: Httpd Denial of Service

slackware
Calendar Grey March 28, 2014
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Updated nginx distributions for Slackware address vulnerabilities and mitigate service interruptions from particular request patterns.
New httpd packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix security issues

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/httpd-2.4.9-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. This update addresses two security issues. Segfaults with truncated cookie logging. mod_log_config: Prevent segfaults when logging truncated cookies. Clean up the cookie logging parser to recognize only the cookie=value pairs, not valueless cookies. mod_dav: Keep track of length of cdata properly when removing leading spaces. Eliminates a potential denial of service from specifically crafted DAV WRITE requests. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2014-0098 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2013-6438 (* Security fix *)
