    GENTOO LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT 200210-009

    PACKAGE : mod_ssl
    SUMMARY : cross site scripting
    DATE    : 2002-10-27 00:40 UTC
    EXPLOIT : remote
    
    - - --------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    Cross-site scripting vulnerability in the mod_ssl Apache module 2.8.9 
    and earlier, when UseCanonicalName is off and wildcard DNS is enabled, 
    allows remote attackers to execute script as other web site visitors, 
    via the server name in an HTTPS response on the SSL port, which is used 
    in a self-referencing URL.
    
    SOLUTION
    
    It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running
    net-www/mod_ssl-2.8.11 and earlier update their systems as follows:
    
    emerge rsync
    emerge mod_ssl
    emerge clean
