slackware
Calendar Grey January 23, 2019
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Updated httpd packages available for Slackware to fix various security flaws and vulnerabilities discovered in the application.
New httpd packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix security issues

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/httpd-2.4.38-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This release contains security fixes and improvements. mod_session: mod_session_cookie does not respect expiry time allowing sessions to be reused. [Hank Ibell] mod_http2: fixes a DoS attack vector. By sending slow request bodies to resources not consuming them, httpd cleanup code occupies a server thread unnecessarily. This was changed to an immediate stream reset which discards all stream state and incoming data. [Stefan Eissing] mod_ssl: Fix infinite loop triggered by a client-initiated renegotiation in TLSv1.2 (or earlier) with OpenSSL 1.1.1 and later. PR 63052. [Joe Orton] For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2018-17199 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2018-17189 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2019-0190 (* Security fix *)
