apache2 vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - apache2 - apache2-common - apache2-doc - apache2-mpm-perchild - apache2-mpm-prefork - apache2-mpm-threadpool - apache2-mpm-worker - apache2-prefork-dev - apache2-threaded-dev - apache2-utils - libapr0 - libapr0-dev Description : Marc Stern discovered a buffer overflow in the SSL module's certificate revocation list (CRL) handler. If Apache is configured to use a malicious CRL, this could possibly lead to a server crash or arbitrary code execution with the rights of the Apache web server. (CVE-2005-1268) Watchfire discovered that Apache insufficiently verified the "Transfer-Encoding" and "Content-Length" headers when acting as an HTTP proxy. By sending a specially crafted HTTP request, a remote attacker who is authorized to use the proxy could exploit this to bypass web application firewalls, poison the HTTP proxy cache, and conduct cross-site scripting attacks against other proxy users. (CVE-2005-2088) Solution : Upgrade to : - apache2-2.0.53-5ubuntu5.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - apache2-common-2.0.53-5ubuntu5.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - apache2-doc-2.0.53-5ubuntu5.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - apache2-mpm-perchild-2.0.53-5ubuntu5.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - apache2-mpm-prefork-2.0.53-5ubuntu5.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - apache2-mpm-threadpool-2.0.53-5ubuntu5.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - apache2-mpm-worker-2.0.53-5ubuntu5.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - apache2-prefork-dev-2.0.53-5ubuntu5.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - apache2-threaded-dev-2.0.53-5ubuntu5.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - apache2-utils-2.0.53-5ubuntu5.
