Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           mod_ssl
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2004:054
 Date:                   June 1st, 2004

 Affected versions:	 10.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1,

 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the ssl_util_uuencode_binary
 function in ssl_engine_kernel.c in mod_ssl for Apache 1.3.x.  When
 mod_ssl is configured to trust the issuing CA, a remote attacker may be
 able to execute arbitrary code via a client certificate with a long
 subject DN.
 
 The provided packages are patched to prevent this problem.
