The information in the following Security Bulletin should be acted upon as soon as possible. Hewlett-Packard Company will not be liable for any consequences to any customer resulting from customer's failure to fully implement instructions in this Security Bulletin as soon as possible. ----------------------------------------------------------------- PROBLEM: 1. 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. More details are available at: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0192 2. Certain errors returned by accept() on rarely accessed ports could cause temporal denial of service, due to a bug in the prefork MPM. More details are available at: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0253 3. Denial of service was caused when target host is IPv6 but ftp proxy server can't create IPv6 socket. More details are available at: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0254 4. The server would crash when going into an infinite loop due to too many subsequent internal redirects and nested subrequests. More details are available at: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19753 IMPACT: Potential Denial of Service PLATFORM: HP9000 Servers running HP-UX release 11.11 with versions of the following products are affected, and represented as: product-name, version (product-tag/bundle-tag) - hp apache-based web server (with IPv6 support), 2.0.43.04 or earlier (HPApache/B9416BA) This product includes Apache 2.0.43. - hp-ux apache-based web server(with IPv6 support), v.1.0.00.01 or earlier (hpuxwsAPACHE/hpuxwsApache) This product includes Apache 2.0.43. SOLUTION: For HP-UX releases 11.11 download new HP Apache product from <http://www.software.hp.com/>: For HPApache/B9416AA, HPApache/B9416BA and hpuxwsAPACHE/hpuxwsApache download the update. - hp-ux apache-based web server (with IPv4) NO actions required - hp-ux apache-based web server(with IPv6 support), v.1.0.07.01 or later (hpuxwsAPACHE/hpuxwsApache) This product includes Apache 2.0.46. http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/ cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=HPUXWSSUITE MANUAL ACTIONS: Yes - Update Install the product containing the fix. For customers with HPApache/B9416BA installed, the fix requires migration to hpuxwsAPACHE / hpuxwsApache and removing the affected products from the system. AVAILABILITY: Complete product bundles are available now on <http://www.software.hp.com/> ----------------------------------------------------------------- A. Background The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project <http://cve.mitre.org/> has identified potential vulnerabilities in the Apache HTTP Server (CAN-2003-0192, CAN-2003-0253, and CAN-2003-0254). It affects the following HP product numbers / versions on HP-UX releases 11.11: - hp apache-based web server, 2.0.43.04 (with IPv6 support) or earlier (HPApache/B9416BA) - hp-ux apache-based web server (with IPv6 support), v.1.0.05.01 or earlier (hpuxwsAPACHE/hpuxwsApache) AFFECTED VERSIONS: The affected filesets are: (product.fileset) HPApache.APACHE2 2.0.36 and subsequent for IPv6 hpuxwsAPACHE.APACHE2 2.0.43 and subsequent for IPv6 fix: revision 2.0.47 or subsequent for IPv6 END AFFECTED VERSIONS B. Recommended solution The Apache Software Foundation has released Apache 2.0.47 as the best known version that fixes the problems identified in the above mentioned issues. For customers using HPApache/B9416BA and hpuxwsAPACHE / hpuxwsApache, HP has incorporated Apache 2.0.47 in the following product: - hp-ux apache-based web server v.1.0.07.01 or later http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/ displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=HPUXWSSUITE Check for Apache Installation ----------------------------- To determine if the Apache web server from HP is installed on your system, use Software Distributor's swlist command. All three versions products may co-exist on a single system. For example, the results of the command swlist -l product | grep -i apache HPApache 2.0.39.01.02 HP Apache-based Web Server hpuxwsAPACHE A.1.0.05.01 HP-UX Apache-based Web Server Stop Apache ----------------------------- Before updating, make sure to stop any previous Apache binary. Otherwise, the previous binary will continue running, preventing the new one from starting, although the installation would be successful. After determining which Apache is installed, stop Apache with the following commands: for HPApache: /opt/hpapache2/bin/apachectl stop for hpuxwsAPACHE: /opt/hpws/apache/bin/apachectl stop Download and Install Apache ----------------------------- - Download Apache from Software Depot using the previously mentioned links. - Verify successful download by comparing the cksum with the value specified on the installation web page. - Use SD to swinstall the depot. - For customers with HPApache/B9416BA installed, migrate to hpuxwsAPACHE/hpuxwsApache and remove the affected products from the system. Installation of this new version of HP Apache over an existing HP Apache installation is supported, while installation over a non-HP Apache is NOT supported. Removing Apache Installation ---------------------------- If you rather remove Apache from your system than install a newer version to resolve the security problem, use both Software Distributor's "swremove" command and also "rm -rf" the home location as specified in the rc.config.d file "HOME" variables. To find the files containing HOME variables in the /etc/rc.config.d directory: %ls /etc/rc.config.d | grep apache hpapache2conf hpws_apacheconf C.

(near the bottom of the page) Once in the archive the third link is to the current Security Patch Matrix. Updated daily, this matrix categorizes security patches by platform/OS release, and by bulletin topic. Security Patch Check completely automates the process of reviewing the patch matrix for 11.XX systems. Please note that installing the patches listed in the Security Patch Matrix will completely implement a security bulletin _only_ if the MANUAL ACTIONS field specifies "No." The Security Patch Check tool can verify that a security bulletin has been implemented on HP-UX 11.XX systems providing that the fix is completely implemented in a patch with no manual actions required. The Security Patch Check tool cannot verify fixes implemented via a product upgrade. For information on the Security Patch Check tool, see: http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/ displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=B6834AA The security patch matrix is also available via anonymous ftp: ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/export/patches/hp-ux_patch_matrix/ On the "Support Information Digest Main" page: click on the "HP Security Bulletin Archive".
