RedHat: RHSA-2017-3195:01 Important: httpd security update
Summary
The httpd packages provide the Apache HTTP Server, a powerful, efficient,
and extensible web server.
Security Fix(es):
* It was discovered that the httpd's mod_auth_digest module did not
properly initialize memory before using it when processing certain headersrelated to digest authentication. A remote attacker could possibly use this
flaw to disclose potentially sensitive information or cause httpd child
process to crash by sending specially crafted requests to a server.
(CVE-2017-9788)
* It was discovered that the use of httpd's ap_get_basic_auth_pw() API
function outside of the authentication phase could lead to authentication
bypass. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to bypass required
authentication if the API was used incorrectly by one of the modules used
by httpd. (CVE-2017-3167)
* A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the httpd's mod_ssl module.
A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause an httpd child process to
crash if another module used by httpd called a certain API function during
the processing of an HTTPS request. (CVE-2017-3169)
* A buffer over-read flaw was found in the httpd's mod_mime module. A user
permitted to modify httpd's MIME configuration could use this flaw to cause
httpd child process to crash. (CVE-2017-7679)
* A use-after-free flaw was found in the way httpd handled invalid and
previously unregistered HTTP methods specified in the Limit directive used
in an .htaccess file. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to
disclose portions of the server memory, or cause httpd child process to
crash. (CVE-2017-9798)
Red Hat would like to thank Hanno Böck for reporting CVE-2017-9798.
