RedHat: Moderate: httpd security update RHSA-2007:0557-01
Summary
Summary
The Apache HTTP Server is a popular Web server. A flaw was found in the Apache HTTP Server mod_status module. On sites where the server-status page is publicly accessible and ExtendedStatus is enabled, this flaw could lead to a cross-site scripting attack. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the server-status page is not enabled by default and it is best practice to not make this publicly available. (CVE-2006-5752) A bug was found in the Apache HTTP Server mod_cache module. On sites where caching is enabled, a remote attacker could send a carefully crafted request that would cause the Apache child process handling that request to crash. This could lead to a denial of service if using a threaded Multi-Processing Module. (CVE-2007-1863) The Apache HTTP Server did not verify that a process was an Apache child process before sending it signals. A local attacker with the ability to run scripts on the Apache HTTP Server could manipulate the scoreboard and cause arbitrary processes to be terminated which could lead to a denial of service. (CVE-2007-3304). Users of httpd should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. Users should restart Apache after installing this update.
