OVERVIEW
Apache HTTP Server (httpd) 2.2.15 has been released fixing mulitple
vulnerabilities. [1]
IMPACT
The Apache Software Foundation states that the 2.2.15 release resolves
the following security issues:
*) "SECURITY: CVE-2009-3555 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_ssl: Comprehensive fix of the TLS renegotiation prefix injection
attack when compiled against OpenSSL version 0.9.8m or later. Introduces
the 'SSLInsecureRenegotiation' directive to reopen this vulnerability
and offer unsafe legacy renegotiation with clients which do not yet
support the new secure renegotiation protocol, RFC 5746." [2]
*) "SECURITY: CVE-2009-3555 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_ssl: A partial fix for the TLS renegotiation prefix injection
attack by rejecting any client-initiated renegotiations. Forcibly
disable keepalive for the connection if there is any buffered data
readable. Any configuration which requires renegotiation for
per-directory/location access control is still vulnerable, unless
using OpenSSL >= 0.9.8l. [2]
*) "SECURITY: CVE-2010-0408 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_proxy_ajp: Respond with HTTP_BAD_REQUEST when the body is not sent
when request headers indicate a request body is incoming; not a case
of HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR." [2]
*) SECURITY: CVE-2010-0425 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_isapi: Do not unload an isapi .dll module until the request
processing is completed, avoiding orphaned callback pointers." [2]
*) "SECURITY: CVE-2010-0434 (cve.mitre.org)
Ensure each subrequest has a shallow copy of headers_in so that the
parent request headers are not corrupted. Elimiates a problematic
optimization in the case of no request body." [2]
MITIGATION
The Apache Software Foundation has made Apache http 2.2.15 available
for download via it's websites and mirrors. [3]
It is expected that vendors which package the Apache http server will
release updated packages shortly.
