---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary:

Updated httpd packages that include fixes for two security issues, as well as
other bugs, are now available.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Problem description:

The Apache HTTP server is a powerful, full-featured, efficient, and
freely-available Web server.

An issue has been discovered in the mod_ssl module when configured to use
the "SSLCipherSuite" directive in directory or location context.  If a
particular location context has been configured to require a specific set
of cipher suites, then a client will be able to access that location using
any cipher suite allowed by the virtual host configuration.   The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2004-0885 to this issue.

An issue has been discovered in the handling of white space in request
header lines using MIME folding.  A malicious client could send a carefully
crafted request, forcing the server to consume large amounts of memory,
leading to a denial of service.  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0942 to this issue.

Several minor bugs were also discovered, including:

- In the mod_cgi module, problems that arise when CGI scripts are
  invoked from SSI pages by mod_include using the "#include virtual"
  syntax have been fixed.

- In the mod_dav_fs module, problems with the handling of indirect locks
  on the S/390x platform have been fixed.

Users of the Apache HTTP server who are affected by these issues should
upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.  Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages.  To launch the Red Hat
Update Agent, use the following command:

    up2date

For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the
following Web page for the System Administration or Customization
guide specific to your system:

5. Bug IDs fixed  (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ for more info):

132593 - mod_dav_fs: indirect lock refresh broken on s390x
134825 - CAN-2004-0885 SSLCipherSuite bypass
138064 - CAN-2004-0942 Memory consumption DoS
