Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2003-0025
Package name: apache
Summary: DoS and possible incorrect cipher
Date: 2003-07-11
Affected versions: TSL 2.0
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
Apache is a full featured web server that is freely available, and also
happens to be the most widely used.
Problem description:
From the announcement:
This version of Apache is principally a security and bug fix release.
A summary of the bug fixes is given at the end of this document. Of
particular note is that 2.0.47 addresses four security vulnerabilities:
Certain sequences of per-directory renegotiations and the SSLCipherSuite
directive being used to upgrade from a weak ciphersuite to a strong one
could result in the weak ciphersuite being used in place of the strong
one. [CAN-2003-0192]
Certain errors returned by accept() on rarely accessed ports could
cause temporal denial of service, due to a bug in the prefork MPM.
[CAN-2003-0253]
Denial of service was caused when target host is IPv6 but ftp proxy
server can't create IPv6 socket.
[CAN-2003-0254]
The server would crash when going into an infinite loop due to too
many subsequent internal redirects and nested subrequests.
[VU#379828]
