Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-594-1 apache

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Two vulnerabilities have been identified in the Apache 1.3 webserver:
"Crazy Einstein" has discovered a vulnerability in the
"mod_include" module, which can cause a buffer to be overflown and
could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
Larry Cashdollar has discovered a potential buffer overflow in the
htpasswd utility, which could be exploited when user-supplied is
passed to the program via a CGI (or PHP, or ePerl, ...) program.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.3.26-0woody6.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.3.33-2.
We recommend that you upgrade your apache packages.
