Slackware: 2020-124-03 Important: HTTPD Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
slackware
April 6, 2019
New httpd packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix a security issue
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/httpd-2.4.39-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This release contains security fixes and improvements. In Apache HTTP Server 2.4 releases 2.4.17 to 2.4.38, with MPM event, worker or prefork, code executing in less-privileged child processes or threads (including scripts executed by an in-process scripting interpreter) could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the parent process by manipulating the scoreboard. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2019-0211 (* Security fix *)
