Debian Security Advisory DSA-135-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Robert van der Meulen
July 2, 2002
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : libapache-mod-ssl
Problem type : buffer overflow / DoS
Debian-specific: no
The libapache-mod-ssl package provides SSL capability to the apache
webserver.
Recently, a problem has been found in the handling of .htaccess files,
allowing arbitrary code execution as the web server user (regardless of
ExecCGI / suexec settings), DoS attacks (killing off apache children), and
allowing someone to take control of apache child processes - all trough
specially crafted .htaccess files.
More information about this vulnerability can be found at
http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/5084
This has been fixed in the libapache-mod-ssl_2.4.10-1.3.9-1potato2 package
(for potato), and the libapache-mod-ssl_2.8.9-2 package (for woody) .
We recommend you upgrade as soon as possible.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
