    Package:             apache
    Vulnerability:       cross side scripting
    OpenPKG Specific:    no
    
    Affected Releases:   Affected Packages:        Corrected Packages:
    OpenPKG 1.0          <= apache-1.3.22-1.0.5    >= apache-1.3.22-1.0.6
    OpenPKG 1.1          <= apache-1.3.26-1.1.1    >= apache-1.3.26-1.1.2
    OpenPKG CURRENT      <= apache-1.3.27-20021009 >= apache-1.3.27-20021023
    
    Description:
      Joe Orton <jortonat_private> discovered a cross site scripting (XSS)
      bug [3] in mod_ssl [1], the SSL/TLS component for the Apache webserver
      [2]. Like the other recent Apache XSS bugs, this only affects servers
      using a combination of "UseCanonicalName off" (_not_ the default in
      OpenPKG package of Apache) and a wildcard A record of the server in
      the DNS. Although this combination for HTTPS servers is even less
      common than with plain HTTP servers, this nevertheless could allow
      remote attackers to execute client-side script code as other web page
      visitors via the HTTP "Host" header.
    
      Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q
      apache". If you have an affected version of the "apache" package (see
      above), upgrade it according to the solution below. Remember to also
      rebuild and reinstall any dependent OpenPKG packages. [4]
    
    Solution:
      Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
      [5][6][7], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service or a mirror location,
      verify its integrity [8], build a corresponding binary RPM from it
      and update your OpenPKG installation by finally installing the binary
      RPM [4]. For the latest OpenPKG 1.1 release, perform the following
      operations to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases
      adjust accordingly).
    
      $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
      ftp> bin
      ftp> cd release/1.1/UPD
      ftp> get apache-1.3.26-1.1.2.src.rpm
      ftp> bye
      $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --checksig apache-1.3.26-1.1.2.src.rpm
      $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild apache-1.3.26-1.1.2.src.rpm
      $ su -
      # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/apache-1.3.26-1.1.2.*.rpm
      # <prefix>/etc/rc apache stop start
