PackageArchVulnerableUnaffected
www-servers/apache*< 2.2.11-r2>= 2.2.11-r2

Background

The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the Internet.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Apache HTTP server:

  • Jonathan Peatfield reported that the "Options=IncludesNoEXEC" argument to the "AllowOverride" directive is not processed properly (CVE-2009-1195).
  • Sander de Boer discovered that the AJP proxy module (mod_proxy_ajp) does not correctly handle POST requests that do not contain a request body (CVE-2009-1191).
  • The vendor reported that the HTTP proxy module (mod_proxy_http), when being used as a reverse proxy, does not properly handle requests containing more data as stated in the "Content-Length" header (CVE-2009-1890).
  • Francois Guerraz discovered that mod_deflate does not abort the compression of large files even when the requesting connection is closed prematurely (CVE-2009-1891).

Impact

A local attacker could circumvent restrictions put up by the server administrator and execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the user running the Apache server. A remote attacker could send multiple requests to a server with the AJP proxy module, possibly resulting in the disclosure of a request intended for another client, or cause a Denial of Service by sending specially crafted requests to servers running mod_proxy_http or mod_deflate.

Workaround

Remove "include", "proxy_ajp", "proxy_http" and "deflate" from APACHE2_MODULES in make.conf and rebuild Apache, or disable the aforementioned modules in the Apache configuration.

www-servers/apache*< 2.2.9>= 2.2.9

Background

The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the Internet.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Apache:

  • Dustin Kirkland reported that the mod_ssl module can leak memory when the client reports support for a compression algorithm (CVE-2008-1678).
  • Ryujiro Shibuya reported that the ap_proxy_http_process_response() function in the mod_proxy module does not limit the number of forwarded interim responses (CVE-2008-2364).
  • sp3x of SecurityReason reported a Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability in the balancer-manager in the mod_proxy_balancer module (CVE-2007-6420).

Impact

A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by connecting to an Apache httpd, by causing an Apache proxy server to connect to a malicious server, or by enticing a balancer administrator to connect to a specially-crafted URL, resulting in a Denial of Service of the Apache daemon.

Description

Adrian Pastor and Amir Azam (ProCheckUp) reported that the HTTP Method specifier header is not properly sanitized when the HTTP return code is "413 Request Entity too large" (CVE-2007-6203). The mod_proxy_balancer module does not properly check the balancer name before using it (CVE-2007-6422). The mod_proxy_ftp does not define a charset in its answers (CVE-2008-0005). Stefano Di Paola (Minded Security) reported that filenames are not properly sanitized within the mod_negotiation module (CVE-2008-0455, CVE-2008-0456).

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to visit a malicious URL or send specially crafted HTTP requests (i.e using Adobe Flash) to perform Cross-Site Scripting and HTTP response splitting attacks, or conduct a Denial of Service attack on the vulnerable web server.

Background

The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the Internet. mod_imap provides support for server-side image maps; mod_ssl provides secure HTTP connections.

Description

Apache's mod_imap fails to properly sanitize the "Referer" directive of imagemaps in some cases, leaving the HTTP Referer header unescaped. A flaw in mod_ssl can lead to a NULL pointer dereference if the site uses a custom "Error 400" document. These vulnerabilities were reported by Marc Cox and Hartmut Keil, respectively.

Impact

A remote attacker could exploit mod_imap to inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript into a user's browser to gather sensitive information. Attackers could also cause a Denial of Service on hosts using the SSL module (Apache 2.0.x only).

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Apache users should upgrade to the latest version, depending on whether they still use the old configuration style (/etc/apache/conf/*.conf) or the new one (/etc/apache2/httpd.conf).

2.0.x users, new style config:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/apache-2.0.55-r1"

2.0.x users, old style config:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "=www-servers/apache-2.0.54-r16"

www-servers/apache*< 2.0.54-r15>= 2.0.54-r15, < 2

Background

The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the Internet. mod_ssl provides SSL v2/v3 and TLS v1 support for Apache 1.3 and is also included in Apache 2.

Description

mod_ssl contains a security issue when "SSLVerifyClient optional" is configured in the global virtual host configuration (CAN-2005-2700). Also, Apache's httpd includes a PCRE library, which makes it vulnerable to an integer overflow (CAN-2005-2491).

Impact

Under a specific configuration, mod_ssl does not properly enforce the client-based certificate authentication directive, "SSLVerifyClient require", in a per-location context, which could be potentially used by a remote attacker to bypass some restrictions. By creating a specially crafted ".htaccess" file, a local attacker could possibly exploit Apache's vulnerability, which would result in a local privilege escalation.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

net-www/mod_dav*<= 1.0.3-r1>= 1.0.3-r2
www-servers/apache*< 2.0.51>= 2.0.51, < 2.0

Background

The Apache HTTP server is one of most popular web servers on the internet. mod_ssl provides SSL v2/v3 and TLS v1 support for it and mod_dav is the Apache module for Distributed Authoring and Versioning (DAV).

Description

A potential infinite loop has been found in the input filter of mod_ssl (CAN-2004-0748) as well as a possible segmentation fault in the char_buffer_read function if reverse proxying to a SSL server is being used (CAN-2004-0751). Furthermore, mod_dav, as shipped in Apache httpd 2 or mod_dav 1.0.x for Apache 1.3, contains a NULL pointer dereference which can be triggered remotely (CAN-2004-0809). The third issue is an input validation error found in the IPv6 URI parsing routines within the apr-util library (CAN-2004-0786). Additionally a possible buffer overflow has been reported when expanding environment variables during the parsing of configuration files (CAN-2004-0747).

Impact

A remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service either by aborting a SSL connection in a special way, resulting in CPU consumption, by exploiting the segmentation fault in mod_ssl or the mod_dav flaw. A remote attacker could also crash a httpd child process by sending a specially crafted URI. The last vulnerabilty could be used by a local user to gain the privileges of a httpd child, if the server parses a carefully prepared .htaccess file.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Description

A bug in the protocol.c file handling header lines will cause Apache to allocate memory for header lines starting with TAB or SPACE.

Impact

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform a Denial of Service attack by causing Apache to exhaust all memory. On 64 bit systems with more than 4GB of virtual memory a possible integer signedness error could lead to a buffer based overflow causing Apache to crash and under some circumstances execute arbitrary code as the user running Apache, usually "apache".

Description

A bug in the proxy_util.c file may lead to a remote buffer overflow. To trigger the vulnerability an attacker would have to get mod_proxy to connect to a malicous server which returns an invalid (negative) Content-Length.

Background

Apache is the most popular Web server on the Internet. mod_ssl provides Secure Sockets Layer encryption and authentication to Apache 1.3. Apache 2 contains the functionality of mod_ssl.

Description

A bug in the function ssl_util_uuencode_binary in ssl_util.c may lead to a remote buffer overflow on a server configured to use FakeBasicAuth that will trust a client certificate with an issuing CA with a subject DN longer than 6k.

Impact

Given the right server configuration, an attacker could cause a Denial of Service or execute code as the user running Apache, usually "apache". It is thought to be impossible to exploit this to execute code on the x86 platform, but the possibility for other platforms is unknown. This does not preclude a DoS on x86 systems.

Workaround

A server should not be vulnerable if it is not configured to use FakeBasicAuth and to trust a client CA with a long subject DN.

Background

The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides services in tune with the current HTTP standards.

Description

On 64-bit big-endian platforms, mod_access does not properly parse Allow/Deny rules using IP addresses without a netmask which could result in failure to match certain IP addresses.

Terminal escape sequences are not filtered from error logs. This could be used by an attacker to insert escape sequences into a terminal emulater vulnerable to escape sequences.

mod_digest does not properly verify the nonce of a client response by using a AuthNonce secret. This could permit an attacker to replay the response of another website. This does not affect mod_auth_digest.

On certain platforms there is a starvation issue where listening sockets fails to handle short-lived connection on a rarely-accessed listening socket. This causes the child to hold the accept mutex and block out new connections until another connection arrives on the same rarely-accessed listening socket thus leading to a denial of service.

Impact

These vulnerabilities could lead to attackers bypassing intended access restrictions, denial of service, and possibly execution of arbitrary code.

There is no known workaround at this time.

Background

The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides services in tune with the current HTTP standards.

Description

Three vulnerabilities were found:

  • A memory leak in ssl_engine_io.c for mod_ssl in Apache 2.0.48 and below allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service attack via plain HTTP requests to the SSL port of an SSL-enabled server.
  • Apache fails to filter terminal escape sequences from error logs that begin with the ASCII (0x1B) sequence and are followed by a series of arguments. If a remote attacker could inject escape sequences into an Apache error log, the attacker could take advantages of weaknesses in various terminal emulators, launching attacks against remote users including further denial of service attacks, file modification, and the execution of arbitrary commands.
  • The Apache mod_disk_cache has been found to be vulnerable to a weakness that allows attackers to gain access to authentication credentials through the issue of caching HTTP hop-by-hop headers which would contain plaintext user passwords. There is no available resolution for this issue yet.

Impact

No special privileges are required for these vulnerabilities. As a result, all users are recommended to upgrade their Apache installations.

Workaround

There is no immediate workaround; a software upgrade is required. There is no workaround for the mod_disk_cache issue; users are recommended to disable the feature on their servers until a patched version is released.

Resolution

Users are urged to upgrade to Apache 2.0.49:

# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=www-servers/apache-2.0.49"
# emerge ">=www-servers/apache-2.0.49"

# ** IMPORTANT **

# If you are migrating from Apache 2.0.48-r1 or earlier versions,
# it is important that the following directories are removed.

# The following commands should cause no data loss since these
